Hi guys, where to get Fan Adapter card, instead of Fan Adapter Cable, or it's easier just to swap case with one?

 

I have system I am building system for client and she wants even ram to be vented (operantly heat spreader on Corsair Vengeance LPX Black is not enough) 

 

The motherboard only has 3 fan headers.

 

Here are system specs:

something like this except in some cases it's just simple PC with fan ports that screws in into case or snaps with adhesive (PWMs professionally speaking)

That's a fan hub. Like the one you linked, they're basically a large splitter in a different form factor than those that are a web of cables. 

Here's one from Silverstone: https://www.amazon.ca/SilverStone-Technology-All-Black-CPF04/dp/B00VNW556I/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1466698940&sr=1-2&keywords=pwm+hub
