    Alright, I am about to begin wiring up the final stuff on my new rig, however, I am going to be wiring two fans to a single switch, what would I do for this, I don't want to screw it up, so I thought I would askbefore I tried my thoughts on it, same for my ccfl which will be around soon.

    all you need is a spdt switch and then you can have it on and off, just by conencting the two ground leads up to the outer terminal and the ground lead from a molex to the inner...

    if you want me to, i can draw you a diagram...

    Find a switch that you like and is rated for at least 0.5A at 12V. Try to get a SPST switch if at all possible. If you get a SPST switch, wire one terminal on the switch to the 12V line on your molex (yellow). To the other terminal, wire the red fan leads from both fans. Wire the black fan leads from both fans to the ground line (black) on your molex.
