is the molex power adaptor enough to power two of these fans at the same time?

yes but what is your plan for it? Its not really designed for that, its designed for hard drives. You will also have to get a molex spliter as it only has one plug or a fan where you can daisy change them.

i'm glad u asked,i'm planning on putting them inside a projection tv.the fans will go on the heatsinks,i'm about to install some convergence chips on the heatsink and they need cooling.adaptor fits nicely where the pink box is pictured.

Fans that size or even 140mm draw so little current that you don't have to worry about the connectors and cables but only about the fan controllers on motherboards, whose chips can blow out even with a load of just 0.25A.
