 The case that I have is a fractal design arc mini r2 and I have purchased additional 2x cooler master jetflo 120 led fan but there's not enough fan header available. In total there are 5 fans but there are only 4 fan header for it. At this point I could either go with a fan hub or just run molex to 3pin. The fan hub I'm considering are 

1. Silverstone Cpf04

2. Thermaltake commander fx 

3.Silverstone fp33

So my question is which would be the better fan hub out of the 3. The Silverstone cpf04 and the commander fx cost abt the same.

What fans do you have and what headers are you currently powering them off of?

It's over my budget 

Have you checked local stores for it? They are sold through many distributors, not just their site. May be cheaper.

It's using stock fan for now  

What stock fans? What headers are you powering each fan off of?

There's a fan controller built into the chassis but there's only 3 header. There are 3 included fans in the chassis

What motherboard do you have and are any of the board's fan headers used up?
