Ok my Tsunami case comes with 3 fans and door lights, and each of these has a male and female end 4 pin power connector. That makes 4 male/female power connectors. Can I just connect these all together in a chain, thereby only having to use one psu connector, or would it be more efficient to split them up? My psu is the Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480w. I would imagine it would be able to have enough juice to do this, but not sure if the farther down the daisy chain, the less power for the lowest fan. Or should I split them all up?

Prepare for Ramming Speed!!!
 
No, tie them all together if you want, you won't have any problems. Just don't splice a bunch a fans together and plug them into the motherboard. The PSU is fine to do this with.

You won't slow the fans down, they have very low draw.
