Turning 'dumb' molex 8cm fan into a smart fan?

I've got a couple of molex 8cm fans that cannot be rpm adjusted etc when the computer is on There a just on at full power when the computer is switched on. Is there any simple way (with the help of a couple of resistors perhaps) that I can rig up my fans so that they connect into the proper sys fan connection point on the motherboard, and hence have control of the rpm etc?
