I just received my new antec sx830 case. I'm building my first pc and this is my first case. I'm really new to this so pardon me if this is a trivial question :) What are those things that were stuck to the bottom of the case? You can see them here:

There are 6 of them? I'm clueless!! Also, how should the fans be used. It comes with 2 in the rear. Should these blow out of the case or into the case. Also I have 2 sunon's for the front of the case. Should I have these blow out or into the case? Thanks!! :)

those are drive rails... they screw onto the sides of your cdroms, and then you can just slide them into the bay and they click in and stay in place.. then you can easily release them for removal by depressing the tab and sliding them back out.

Hehe I wondered the same thing myself. If you shake your case around you should find an instruction manual behind the motherboard tray. How helpful that it includes instructions on how to open the case--considering that you have to open it to get to the manual anyway :) Quick note on the rails, when you slide a drive into place, squeeze the rails in so you don't have to apply a lot of force to get them to "click."

Your front fans should suck air into the case (label faces into the case), rear fans should pull air out of the case (labels face the back wall).

Mine was floating around with the rest of the stuff in the bottom of the case. Just remove the right panel of the case to get to the bottom of the mainboard tray.
