I am currently installing the said m/board into my box, and have so far only
noticed 1 case fan connector. I have plugged the rear fan into that one,
next to the agp socket.
Are there any more that I may have missed, and if not, what can I do about
the other 2 fans?

Thanks

There are adaptors to use with your power supply and/or ones which adapt 2
fans to one header. (Be sure not to exceed the rated header wattage listed
in MB manual.)

3 to 4 pin convertors that plug into the IDE power connector.

Try getting some 3 to 4 pin convertor cables, www.tekheads.co.uk do them at
a reasonable price as well as a load of other gear:-) If you want to go a
more
expensive route there are fan controllers that come with convertor cables
and
can handle several fans both 5v and 12v types.

I'm running 5 case fans and a cpu fan off a zalman mfc1 fan controller:-)
There is also provision for the mobo sensor leads to be run from either
the controller or even some 3-4pin conv cables.. So you can still
run mbm 5 and detect the fan speeds etc.
