Default Antec Three Hundred + ASRock P45XE question

Okay guys, I am going to be getting a new case and some fans.

I have decided on getting the Antec 300 Gaming Case (http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/product.php?id=MjQ=) Mainly due to it being affordable and it having side fan, top fan and front fan support. It includes 1 rear 120 x 25 mm TriCool™ Fan with 3-speed switch control and 1 top special 140 x 25 mm TriCool™ Fan with 3-speed switch control

Aswell with this, I will be getting 2 additional fans (1 for the front, 1 for the side). I will be getting Arctic Cooling 120mm fans with speed control http://www.canadacomputers.com/index...831&cid=FN.505

Now, my question is, how will I connect all of this to my motherboard? I have checked my board and there is only 2 3-pin fan connectors on my motherboard (a CPU fan connector that is currently being used by the CPU fan and an unoccupied Chassis Fan Controller). My case will have 4 fans (top, rear, side, front). How will all of this get connected?

Well, FYI, you can hook up fans via molex connections. And those Arctic Cooling fans won't fit in the front.

The front of the Antec 300 only supports 25mm thick fans. not 38's.

Okay guys, I went to the Arctic Cooling site and saw that the fans (http://www.arctic-cooling.com/catalo..._48_68&mID=144) have PWM Sharing Technology. Can someone explain to me how this works exactly?

pulse width modulation. this basically mean the fan can use many different voltages tat the mobo give to control noise and speed.
