My power supply has nine molex connectors. My case has six case fans, all with molex connectors. So, do I seriously have to use six molex connectors from my power supply, or can I hook two fans up to one molex connector?

You could run all six fans off of one molex if you felt like dealing with adapters, or breaking out the soldering iron. Just never try running that many on a mobo header. lol.
