Quick question about splitters and molex connectors

I have a quick question about my brand new Silverstone Zeus 750 watt SLI power supply that I just ordered.

I will be having the following items running and want to make sure I have enough connectors or do I need a splitter?

-1 Silverstone TJ07 Full tower case that has 6 fans stock.
-1 Aerocool PowerWatch
-2 Sunbeam Lightbus'
-8 LED Lights (2 Blue, 2 UV, 2 White, 2 Red)

By my calculations that is 17 molex connectors that are needed. My power supply only comes with 6. Does that mean I need 11 Y Splitters? Will it affect my power supply?

Those are all the ones that I believe are connected to molex connectors.

Then I have 2 SATA DVD Drives and 2 SATA hard drives which I believe run on the SATA connectors. Am I correct on this?

Remember this is my first build.

If you guys need the other components posted just reply and I will post them. I just feel they are not needed for this post so why post them?

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.
 
Anybody? Sorry if it seems like I am impacient but I have to go, so I will be on later. But please respond. Thanks.
 
hook up your case fans to the aerocool powerwatch. the leds to the lightbus.

That was acutually the point of me getting LED's as opposed to cold cathodes. CCFL's are fire hazards, the LED's are not.
 
Yea, CCFL's aren't as safe as LED's. I had a few cathode inverter explosions, from a few brands like ultra, coolermaster, sunbeam, etc. The cathodes themselves aren't at fault, the inverters are. The use of crappy components is the cause. So, if you still want to use cathodes but don't like the idea of an explosion in your case, then you can either encase the inverter and give it plenty of airflow, strap it to the outside of your case, or even turninig it off unless you want to impress people, should be good.
