    I think radionics have them, but I cant find them, Im looking too, Did you buy the Delta fans too?:D

    I think the tech term for them is a female IDC connector

    You could always buy the cables in maplin or likes and cut the connectors off then wire them up to your fans :confused:
    Not sure if this is what your looking for though?

    Sounds like a plan, my other one was to scavange old fans and fleece their "female IDC connector".

    Why not just use a standard molex connector?

    I read somewhere that the 120 mm Delta fans draw more current than the small mobo connectors can supply........

    They're loud aswell so im thinking a fan controller might be a good option. Serious CFM from them though.

    You can buy the bits that go inside the molex connectors here and you can get the actual molex/3pin connectors here .Their shipping is really fast and cheap, there really east to put togeather and they look cool too, hope that helps.

    Thanks CombatCow, I just got the deltas for the laugh, I know that they will be savagely loud, they are rated for 220CFM at 65db:eek:

    If they are extremely loud even on 7volt, I will flog them on ebay;)

    Yea I have them plugged into a molex until my fan controller arrives, not excessively loud but you definitley notice it.
