I case modded my dimension 4600 and i am almost ready to put the plexiglass in....

I am trying to order a new fan and some lighting for my pc but I dont know if i even have room for the lights. If you think you can help please take a look at the pics.

1: PC before mod
2: PC after mod
3: both molexes
4: the first molex.. it has 2 sets of wires going in / coming out of it. Would it be safe to plug something in here? if so, would it function?? one set is coming out of the power supply, the other goes to my cd burner.
5: the second molex... only has one set of wires coming out of it.. they lead to the hard-drive.
6: this is where the power supply for my fan plugs into the motherboard.
7: up-close of the fan's power supply unplugged.

Another question: All the fans i can find online have 4-pin molex connections. Do i have room for a new fan and a case-light? Or do you know where i can buy led or cold cathode fans that have this sort of power supply?? The fan i have now is 120mm

omg... Firefox has prevented 7 popup windows. What kinda landmine IS that site?
 
Ahh, the flash display would normally open windows but firefox was blocking them... so they were popups but inert ones. Sorry for the confusion.
 
Okay, short answer... yes, you can plug a fan or CCL into the molex connector, even the one that's wired as a loop-through (most power supplies have this, several molex connectors on a single wire run back to the power supply). Most of the 4-pin molex fan connectors I've seen are pass-through, meaning they have a male molex on one side, and female on the other, so you can daisy-chain other devices or fans off the same connector.
