And if your PSU isn't enough to suppy these fans , u can use another AT PSU
Make sure that must be a AT PSU . It will link to all the fans and your own PSU will link to the others ( mobo , HDD , CDROM .... )
or you could use one of these little relay thingymabobbyjobbies
relay switch, its at the bottom of the page
Although I aint using my switch at the moment, when I was I just opened my old spare crappy psu and cut all the connectors off that I knew I wouldnt be using e.g. p4 connectors etc and insulated them inside the psu housing. That way I didnt have too many extra wires messing up the inside of my case.
