I have a question. Can I simultaneously connect different molex connectors (male and female) to other connecters or periperhals (example: led temp molex to cd-rw molex to power supply.)?

I have a lot of molex connectors everywhere
 
I'm a little confused by your post, but I think I understand. You can use Y-splitters or whatever you want to plug in your devices. So the answer would be yes you can run multiple things off of one molex, or the molex connectors on the same line.

sorry if I confused you. what i meant was I have a aspire case with led temp gauges and a lot of other peripheral that have molex connectors. what i did was was connect the lcd temp gauge molex(female) to my cd-rw molex slot(male)

and i was wondering if i could do this and connect different devices, like fan(female) molex to ide harddrive(male) connector. like a chain of different devices and make it work if it all leads back to the power supply.

Im very very sorry if i confuse anyone else.

i see. so i should go buy y-splitters to connect other stuff like extra fans and such? so i should not just connect different devices togther?

LOL, he was just confused. When you have devices with both mail and female connectors, the reason is so that you can chain them together. And that's exactly what you were asking, so go for it.
