I wanted to clean up a bit inside my computer. And I found that I have too many of those 4pin connectors in my case. I wanted to ask if I can put at one end a female connector and at the other end 3 male connectors? I've seen the Y power adaptor but thats only for 2 fans I need 3 plug one for my 3 fans? The fans are 1 92mm sanyo Denki, 1 80mm sunon, and my vantec6054od hsf w/delta &7v mod.

I do not think they sell a 3way splitter, but you can make one. I buy the molex pins and housings from http://www.jameco.com They just snap together and you can use plyers to crimp the wires. Getting them apart is the tricky part.

I know they don't sell a 3 way splitter but is it alright that I do a 3 way splitter? I have all the parts at home I'm just afraid it might burn something.

I would use 18 or 20 gauge or heavier wire, but you should be fine.

As long as your powersupply will carry the load (and if it already is then you are good to go), then nothing should burn out. The copper wires give you almost no resistance (a fact that got me out of class on a number of occasions back in high school).
As far as a three way splitter goes, why not just plug a Y adapter on to one end of another Y adapter?

I was thinking about that having a Y adaptor then another. But it would be too much of a long chain. So I've decided to do it myself. Since its so easy. and I have all the parts at home.
