So, I wanna get another fan or two for my computer, but my mobo only has 3 fan connectors, and honestly I don't want the fans running full speed all the time. So I was wondering if there was some kind of cable that I can get 2 fans to go off of the same controller

If the motherboard headers can handle it - a 3 pin splitter will do the trick...or you can buy a fan controller, or you can make your own like me. If you want to use a 3-pin spltter cable though (basically a Y cable), make sure the motherboard header can handle the necessary 12V ampage.
