I took one of my old, defective cpu fans, which came with a pass-through molex connector already, and disconnected the wires going to the fan. I then connected these 2 wires to a female cigarette lighter adapter, which I purchased from Wal*Mart for a few bucks, and I now have an easy way of connecting my LCD without having to cut the original cable which came with the LCD. Since I am using a pass-through molex connector, I also don't have to sacrifice a molex power source.

Warning: Make sure your power supply can handle the LCD before permanently hiding the wiring (I have no problems doing this using my 90W Opus), and make sure you verify that you are tapping the 12+V rail (most cpu fans should be using the 12V rail, yellow and black wire) to avoid any damages.
