is there a way to do it without the Fanbus? I've got a 250W PSU...could that be the problem???

cheers for the help so far guys

Dean: do you know, or know somebody that knows how to solder?

It's easy to make a fanbus, it's cheap and you can hook up the fans to it without the need of connectors.

If you want to connect a fan, cut the end of the fan tail, strip the wires, find a molex end, just before the plastic end pull back the insulation from the wire w/out cutting all the way through, connect fan and use electrical tape to finish it.Use the red and black wire next to it.

Actually Phone Connector Boxes work really well and they are only about 2 bucks

Phone connector boxes?

firstly:

secondly:
I made mine, and my mate's, for about 10-15 quid each, all parts from Maplin. That includes various things to make it look neater, tidier(sp?) and cooler, I think the cost was about 5 if you want a plain, simple one and already have some wire, add a pound 20 for 10m of wire if you don't have it already...

i get alot of my fans from old power supplies and since there is no way to connect them to anything cuz of the  2 pin connector i just cut off four pin molex connectors from broken fans or other broken things (like PSUs too) and take off the 2 pin connector from the fan and replace it with the 4 pin

couldnt you just wire it to a bare molex connector after you rip the mobo connector off?
