cheap 80 mm case fans with long "leads"

I've been looking for cheap (cause, well, I'm cheap) 80 mm ball bearing fans and I'd like something with longer wires (guess they're called leads), so I'd like something that's like 10 inches or longer. The fact that neither of the fans I bought can act as intake fans yet plug into my motherboard is annoying.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

I would use a regular 4 lead connector rather than the motherboard, then you can plug them in in series with a hard drive. You can keep the fans you have and just buy a 3 to 4 pin adapter for about $1 each.

Or, you cut the wire in the middle and splice in extensions.

^^^thats what i did and the fan ran perfectly fine...in fact...im having to do that again with a 120mm fan that i want to stealth the wires on....they are right in the way.

coolermaster 80mm ball bearing fans come with a very long lead.
