Another Question

Do the 4-pin "molex" connectors connect to the case's 4-pin molex connectors(or receivers, each one comes with a 4-pin thing, one's 4 holes, and 1 is 4 pins like the PSU's molex connectors.?

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowIm...UV%2c+CB+-+OEM

If I understand what you're asking, the PSU Molex connectors in the picture (2x10 and 2x2) are for the motherboard, not the case. The case Molex connectors supply power to the case fans and plug into 1x4 connectors from the PSU (same kind as IDE drives use). The 4-pin/4-hole arrangement you describe is gives you something to plug into a drive if you have no other power cables available. Just plug the PSU connector(s) into the case connector(s) the only way they'll fit and you'll be fine.

Check the case manual for the way to connect up the case fans. Looks like you can daisy chain the case fans to one standard molex from the PSU.
