I'm fairly new to PC building and I've been planning out my gaming PC build, and I want to use the DeepCool Kendomen for my case (http://www.mwave.com.au/product/deepcool-kendomen-atx-mid-tower-case-red-ab60764).

The case has 5 case fans pre-installed. After further researching, I found out that all 5 fans wouldn't be able to be plugged into the mobo, meaning that I won't be able to use the case's external fan controller for all of them.

My question is, how would I get around this? Should I buy a fan hub (such as this one: http://www.mwave.com.au/product/deepcool-fan-hub-4-pwm-fan-speed-4-pin-ab58094) and plug 4 case fans into it (with the CPU Fan and the remaining case fan plugged directly into the mobo's remaining 2 headers)?

Keep in mind I live in Australia, so hardware available elsewhere mightn't be available where I am.

Thanks,
RaspyScout.

You can get double adapter for fan headers, run 2 fans off 1 header. I'm unsure how well they work, but should work in theory. Run your exhaust fan (rear fan) full time off Molex
btw, we can purchase off newegg, they ship to aus just in case ya didn't know.

deppecool web page wont load for me. but reading the info frm the sales page you linked is looks like there a high/low fan speed controller already built into the case to run all 5 fans. if the controller is like the ones on the nxzt cases it get it power from a 4 pin molex and is a simple voltage controller. low might be 7v or less to speed the fans down...high might be 10-12v. both the fan speed and led glow would drop. if fan noise is an issue to you then look into using mb header if it 4 pin header and 4 pin fans that have a sence wire and can be set from o-full speed from the mb by temp when needed. most fan hubs are not smart ones..there mostly voltage controllers...turn a knob to spin a fan down or up.
