If you buy coolermaster fan they will usually give u power connector extension for ur fan, so u can just daisy chain ur fans using only one power connector...

Get a Y-molex cable/convertor; can connect 2 devices for each cable. U may also custom make urself...add as many output u like frm single input

I just get a Front Panel with fan control function ... Got extra port behing the panels and you can easily maintain the sound value produced by those fans by manipulating the RPM

DIY urself a FAN Controller .... Im sure it wud do the trick of controlling all ur fans A single or double Power input and u can make as many output as u like, but make sure the regulator can withstand the burden.  2 normal case fan wud be fine per controller.  i have 3 controllers  ; 1 controller controls 2 fan  Good Luck.

Abit EQ for abit users.  or i think in ur mobo bios, u can check there too.. Hope that helps....
