I don't recommend putting more than your cpu fan to the mobo... No need to pull all of that juice through it... ;)

Make or buy some adaptors... You can find them for ~$1.00 each...

From what I can see, it has 3. However, I, personally would not hook 3 fans up to a motherboard...

Almost any computer store should have them. Most new fans come with them as well.

Well, as long as their all low rpm fans it shouldn't be a problem.
