4 pin to 3 Pin Adaptor. Where to buy/How to make?

    Ok, Hoping someone can help me out here :)

    My new case comes with stock fans that have a "4 Pin" male connector. Really though they just have the Yellow 12v line and a Black Ground line in a Molex Connector.

    The Fan Controller I have only had 3 Pin Connectors.

    I was wondering if someone knew an Irish/Cheap P&P store where I could buy a 4 pin (Female) to 3 Pin (Female) Cable or plug?
    Or a guide on how to DIY one.
    Or a Guide on how to take those Two Wires and Splice them into a 3 Pin Female Head

    Or better yet have a spare one they wanna flog :D

    Is it impossible to fit the 4pin headers on the fan controller? If so just get some 3pin male Molex plugs and a Molex terminal crimper and yank out the old lines and stick them in the 3pin housings with the crimper. Everyone has one of those lying around the house, right? :D

    The Fan Controller only has 3pin connectors (yes its a cheapo PoS one but my budget was blown on the good bits :D) so I need actual 3pin connector dohickies. :(
