    LED Fan and mobo fan header

    I need some opinions on this. I am going to buy this Fan and put it in the back of my case. Since I don't want wires all over the place I was wondering if you think I could plug it into a motherboard plug.

    I know that you're not supposed to plug bigger/faster fans into the headers because they draw too much current/use to much power. This baby draws .23A and is rated at 2.76W according to SVC, so do you think I'll be ok? Has anyone done this?

    Thanks.

    That does seem like a fairly low current draw. But I'd check your mobo manual to make sure of the max draw available.
