Looking for a motherboard evaluation...

I have case with 2 case fans that needs installing as well as a CPU heat sink. I've been looking at that board and saw a few complaints of only having 1 CPU and case fan input. Now, me being a first-time builder, was wondering if there's any way to install 2 case fans as well as the CPU fan on the board?

 

The motherboard looks to have everything I need for a build so I don't want to go for a higher-priced board if I don't have to.

I dunno if that'll work. I should have included that I'll be using the Thermaltake V21 which has a 200mm fan on the front and I'll be installing a 140mm fan on the rear. Do you think there's a fan splitter that'll reach? Here's an image of the case:

In that case do you know if there are extension cords for fan splitters?

Molex to 3 or 4 pin fan adapters. You won't be able to control the speed (they'll always run at max) of them so i recommend using them for the case fans. They're pretty cheap and you can find them on most tech part websites or amazon.

If they're too loud for you while running at max you can always buy low voltage adapters for them and they'll run at a lower rpm.

Meh. Might as well spend an extra $10 USD  >.>
