if it were me i would cut the 4 pin wire adapter off and connect all the wires from the fans together...then connect that to a 12v adapter...2 fans max tho if there 120mm

They make splitters where you get 2 or more out of 1 4 pin. Hold on, I'll see if I can find one.

Also, you should just get something like this:

Here check this one, you can look like a super pimp with your touch screen controlled fan system for $25.

I have used one of these in a stealth micro grow before, they are way cool.

istead of pissing yourself off with 4pin stuff... cut the wires, take the black one, and the red... attache them to your power source (i recommend getting a 250watt computer PSU from newegg....got mine for 12$+$8.99 shipping) (one the PSU the 12volt is yellow) plus you can use it for otherthings too... lets say your growing with LEDs you could use that as the power supply...
and if you dont want to "ruin" the 4 pins, buy the PSU and plug them right in...
