Fan Connection Problem

I'm building a new i7 P20 PC w/Antec 900, ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 Mobo w/12G Ram, Thermaltake 850W PS, 2 WD 320GB Caviar HD's, Plextor DVD/CD Burner, etc.

I've basically got it assembled w/the exception of hooking up the fans. All of the fans (6) have the large 3 Pin Molex PS Power Connectors, not the type that plugs into the mobo. My mobo has the capability for Fan/Pwr Management w/ 3 Chassis Fan Connectors & 1 CPU Fan Connector (all are 3 Pin type).

I figured this was a simple issue of getting cable adapters to adapt from the PS type connectors to the mobo type connectors, but i've looked everywhere I can think of for the adapters and they don't seem to be available. I don't understand why?

Do they exist or do I have to actually splice wires or what do I need to do?

Please HELP!

I believe there are adapters, but I would just plug them in directly to the power supply.
