Hello,
I have bought almost all components of Skybuck's Dream PC (2006). The only
thing which is missing is the case and some case fans. (The only other thing
I did not order is the diskdrive 7-in-1 card reader. It was not available
and I probably don't really need it, since floppy disks are not produced
anymore and little usefull... everything can be done with boot cd's, I also
changed the cd/dvd rom drive to a newer BenQ 1655 model with lightscribe
technology)
I really want to be able to connect some extra case fans to blow cool air
over my two hitachi harddisks of 500 GB each. A reviewer recommend doing
this so I think it's wise to follow that recommendation.
The case will be a Chieftec case. However, only the german supplier is able
to deliver the Smart Series and he seems incapable of deliviring it lol. So
I might have to switch to a Bravo Series case which seems to have the same
internals... so only the front of the case is different.
Both chieftec cases seems to be able to mount 5 additional fans. One 120
millimeter fan and four 92 millimeter fans.
Here is a link to the alternative chieftec case which has the same
internals:

(It says 90 mm fans... but they probably mean 92mm fans).
The german chieftec website recommends using 92 mm fans with 3 pin
connectors which are to be connected to the motherboard (?). Link to
AF-0925S fan which mentions in german "1x 3-pin Motherboardanschluss inkl.
Tachosignal / 1x Molex" (???)

So I checked the manual of the asus A8N32-SLI deluxe motherboard but it does
not mention anything about extra case fans ? It only mentions an optional
fan to be used for a water cooling solution.
I can think of two possibilities:
1. Connect the fans to the motherboard.
2. Connect the fans to the power supply.
So my big question is:
How to connect the fans ???
Bye,
Skybuck.
