Was thinking about the one linues showed too but there is only one molex connecter on it :/ what if i need like 6-8 fans, will i be able to get enough splitters for it, or will it become too weak?

You would have to check the wattages and the amperages of the fans to know exactly, but most likely yes. Fans normally don't pull a ton, unless you get extremely high performance ones. Also instead of using a bunch of splitters for that many fans, I would look into modmytoys PCB splitters like this: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/14665/ele-991/4-Pin_Power_Distribution_PCB_8xWay_Block_MMT-PCB-4-83.html#blank
