Why not tap off the internal drive power connector (assuming internal 3
1/2" model)? If if is the PCI model, taping off the 44 pin connector
can't be too dificult (part can't be unobtanium)...

Wow, I just got my brain around the current demands of the fan - but,
you should be OK if you don't have any internal drives (I guess).

Just a few thoughts...
