CONTEXT
I have recently built a new pc with the Razer Tomahawk Mini-ITX Case (link #1 below) and want to do something a bit different with it. If you look at link #2 below, you'll see my setup. I have a radiator on top for exhaust and I'm going to have 2 ultra slim fans on the bottom providing intake so the airflow is vertical & (somewhat) linear to prevent hot air congestion.
There is a slot in the front at the bottom of the case for an intake fan so, my idea is to put an ultra slim fan in the front panel but have it flipped around to make it an exhaust. Having it as intake is practically worthless due to poor airflow from the front panel. As is, the airflow and my temps are decent but can feel noticeable hot air sitting under the PSU when I put my hand in there.
PREMISE
I want to put some mini fans along the side of the front panel (behind square ventilation holes) to help push more hot air out. I picked out some mini fans that will fit in the front panel (may need to sand them down some) in link #3 but they are 2 pin connectors.
QUESTION
What is the best way to connect 8 to 10 of these fans together? I tried to look for splitters & hubs for 3-pin connectors but am unsure if they will work.
Plus, is this even worth doing? I know it's extra and I'm a bit of a try-hard for doing all this but if it works (effectively), I'm all about it.
I'm also open to other opinions/suggestions for my build, so please feel free to share and don't worry about offending me.
I apologize for such a long post, as this is my first time ever reaching out to a forum for help.
I really appreciate any/all comments posted, and sincerely thank you for your time!
