I'm not sure if you overlooked it but I gave two recommendations.

The Phobya Y-Kabel is $14.

I need a Fan HUB, but I cannot find a decent number of connectors with a cheap price. I've looked at the Thermaltake Fan HUB, but $24 is not justifiable. What do you people recommend? Preferably a place a young Canadian can purchase from :P

What kind of functionality are you looking for in the fan hub? What fans are you powering?

Nothing too fancy, just something that will power some simple NZXT fans. Computer is currently running on 1 exhaust fan and a CPU cooler in the summer heat...

Which fans in particular and how many? --model names please.

Are you looking for any type of fan control or are you just powering the fans at 100%?

My case itself supports up to 4 fans, but I would like more just incase, so maybe more than 6 connectors? The NZXT fans are from my brother's NZXT H440, they are white if that helps. Either FX V2 Airflow or Radiator.

and Now that you mention fan controlling, it would be great to have it to not be loud.

The fans you're referring to are FN V2's. 

What motherboard are you using? Are you using the H440 or another case with the FN V2's? If you're using the H440 and since it doesn't have front 5.25" bays, a hub or splitters from your motherboard might be more practical.

H110M-A. Kind of cheaped out on it, because I wanted a i5 atleast. (i5 6500)

 

Since its a MATX board, it has 1 fan header, thus why I am looking for a fan hub.

Agreed. But this was in january, I had to skimp on it. I wanted 8 GB of RAM (HyperX) and I wanted a decent i5. I had $380 on hand. $250 on CPU, $70 on HyperX RAM, and the $60 on the MB, I had to :P

Thermaltake View 27. Regret it, but it's been 5 months...

Phanteks' PWM hub would work: https://www.amazon.ca/Phanteks-PWM-Fan-Controller-PH-PWHUB-01/dp/B00M0R05WE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499555010&sr=8-1&keywords=fan+hub+phanteks

It doesn't have a 4pin pwm output for the stock cooler but it would still provide some degree of control albeit less granular.

A cheaper option would be a 4-way splitter off of your sys_fan header for your case fans: https://www.amazon.ca/Phobya-Y-Kabel-3Pin-Molex-60cm/dp/B00414ROKU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1499555439&sr=8-3&keywords=3pin+fan++splitter+4

It wouldn't allow for more fans but 4 case fans should be plenty for most systems. If I remember correctly, the sys_fan header supports up to 1A. Keep that in mind if you plan to replace the fans and to not overload the header with power hungry fans.

Is there a cheaper option? $24 seems a bit.. expensive. If there isn't I will consider it, as I have to anyways, it's decently hot here in Vancouver :/

Crap, mistook it for a molex to 3 pin fan connector. Thanks for the help!

 

Solved!
