Connecting the fans in the Cosmos II for speed control?

Hello,

I've built a number of computers but never thought about the speed control on the fans before. Since I'm going to be building a case with 5 case fans in addition to the CPU fans and video card fans, I thought I'd ask for some help on getting up to speed (so to speak).

I'll be putting in a gigabyte GA-G1 sniper ZS1 which has less fan connectors on the motherboard than there are fans for my case and CPU. (not sure if this matters - I'm guessing the case has some sort of input control but don't know) Can anyone explain how you connect so many fans to a motherboard/case but keep speed control on all of them?

The case will have 2 hard drive fans, 1 front fan, 1 rear fan, 1 top fan, the CPU fan.
