Two fans... one connector

Up until now my computer has run with a chasis fan wired directly into the PSU (no idea how to do that) - now that I have a new PSU and a seperate 3-pin fan, I am unable to connect it to the motherboard because it only has one 3-pin connector which is being used by the CPU fan. There are some odds spikes here and there that 'look' like connectors and they fit perfectly, but I guess they are not - because the fan doesn't start up on them. So - How do I go about connecting this 3-pin fan without a free slot?

Ok I've never looked into it but chances are the fan is just a 12v DC fan, which is what I think molex cables output? If you've got a free molex plug just try wiring it up directly.

I know nothing of that site, but I think that that's the product that you're looking for.

Wont that cause it to spin at 100% constantly?

Also... Why is this in rants??

Yeah it'll spin at 100%... But it's a chasis fan, so that shouldn't be a problem. It's also a silent fan with silicone pins.
