    I am a first time pc builder and I am interested in the smilodon case. The case has a total of 4 case fans and it appears that all of them are molex connected. The PSU I want only has 6 peripheral molex connectors. I am wondering if there is a better way to not use most of the molex plugs.

    Yeah there is not really a big difference in splitters. Just buy whatever is cheap.

    If the case is at all good (with Raidmax that's questionable) then the fans included should use passthrough connectors, thus meaning that only one molex connector can power all of them, and an additional device attached to the end.
