Go here and scroll down to the bottom of the page for "system fans"

These plug into your HD or CD-ROM and have a cheater that'll allow you to add as many as you wish..

You can buy sytem fans from a local radio shack. These have male and female plugs that allow you to plug into your power suppy and piggy back another device (fan) onto.

Just be careful how many fans you load that psu and mb with.

Do radio shack have any stores in Britain (more importantly - Scotland)
I seem to remember seeing one in Banchory but i'm not sure.
thanks

If you go to radio shack to buy the fans you will bepaying about 3x the cost of the fans.If you do a little resreach on ebay u will find alot of people and small companies selling these fans for very cheap.I'm not at my home or I'd give you the one I use.On average you should pay about 3 or 4 $,like on the link that richard cran. sent you.I would aslo imaging you have atleast a 250 watt power supply for your machine,right?If not pick up atleast that or a 300w one.Goodluck...SIC...

Be careful about hooking too much up to the 3 pin connectors on the motherboard. They have been known to burn out when they are overloaded.

Just wanted to give you and alternative to using your 3pin connector. I'm not trying to make a plug for Radioshack. Personally, I buy my hardware from computer shows.
