Anyone know a solution to this?

I have 4 fans each driven by 3 pin connectors. This contributes to
rather a bit more cable mess in my case than I would like, seeing as 3
of them are connected to molex plugs.

Is there such a thing as a molex to 3 fan plug adapter? I'm thinking
like a power strip of miniature dimentions.

This sort of thing?

That has two 12V and two 7V connectors, but you could shift'em all
over to 12V with a little soldering.
