dont you plug them into the psu rather than the motherboard or is it the same fan connector as for cpu fan? if so you usually have two cpu fan sockets on the board.

or am i well off the mark ... yep thought so .

Just go to a PC shop or Maplins or something and ask for a "4pin to 3 pin fan type molex cable". You can even get ones that'll split into 4 fan connectors. should be around Ł3.
