    3 pin plug?

    Right I want to mod my 9800 Pro's fan so I can plug it into a motherboard header and have it controlled by SpeedFan. Where can I buy a 3 pin plug?

    Well thanks to those who've suggested Maplin and RS - either of you actually looked though?

    Searched both sites twice, without success.

    I think I will change my plan. Buying an adapter is the only simple solution to this particular problem.

    Find a fan with a 3 pin adapter - chop it off, splice it onto your radder's fan cable.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
