sorry if the pictures are blurry or dark..i've had this camera for a while and still can't figure out how to configure it properly..
anyway on to my problem. This is my first time building a PC, seems like everything is going smoothly so far, I'm just putting it together as the parts arrive. So anyway I hooked up my motherboard and install PSU [Antec TP-II 550] [ http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=22550 ] and then when I go to hook up the two case fans, the ones that came preinstalled with the case, front and back. I look at the connectors for the fan and as you can see in those first two links there are two connectors one that has 4 holes and is "male" im assuming as it has 4 prongs then there is one tied together with it that is the "female" im assuming with 4 holes then room for something with 4 holes to be plugged into it.
So I figured simple enough and when I'm looking at the cords on my PSU I see two cords labeled FAN ONLY so I figured one for the front fan one for the back. But if you can see in the last two links I provided (might have to turn the brightness up) the connector ends have 4 holes and it looks like two of the holes are "female" and the other two looks like there's nothing in them.. like they're just plain plastic.
How do I hook up these case fans? I looked around for some answers but I'm pretty stumped and this is my first build too =/. Oh yea and the case I have is the COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW [ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119068 ]
Thanks for any help given.
