I just got this case and I have a question on it for anyone that has this case. Can you provide me instructions on hooking up the 6 fans that come with it to power. This is the first computer I ever built so am new to this. Also I not exactly sure how to put the harddrives into the case. I think I figure out where most of the other connections went. I am using a ASUS "A8V Deluxe" VIA K8T800 Pro Chipset Motherboard For AMD Socket 939.



Computer that am in the middle of building

Aspire x-superalien case
Asus k8t800 moutherboard(using the intergrated sound)

2GB(2 of 1GB) of Geil 184 pin DDR value ram
Geforce 6800 ultra
2 Seagate 200GB 7200RPM Model ST3200822A configure as RAID 0
1 DVDRW and 1 CDRW
3.5 drive
 
ok first off that case only has place for 4 or 6 80mm fans all u do is decide on first what u want them to do throw air in or take air out i suggest that the one closeest to ur cpu fan throws air in ok and than just put it in there spots and start mounting it just take the screws and start screwing it in, the hard drive falss under the floppy drive ur case has 2x3.5" so put one floppt and put one hard drive right under the floppy and for the fans try to make the wiring neat cuz u do have a see thought window
 
the fans already install. What I was wondering was where the power wires go. do yo uplug the fans into each other in a chain then one goes to power or something like that?
 
no u can do that but try to make ur wireing nice and neit so just connect all of them together to somthing else any way u want and plug into power supply

Grab the motherboard manual, match the pins from the case (they're labeled and color coded and stuff) to the connectors on the mobo (bottom right corner). If it doesnt work, flip it 180º

Also I not exactly sure how to put the harddrives into the case
1. Didnt the case come with instructions?
2. There should be a set of cages (or detatchable) that you can screw HDDs to ... that should be the most structurally secure component on the front end of the case :) Attach ur HDDs there via screws :)

Depends on the connectors ... if you're dealing with 3pins then use the mobo headers (theres 3) ... if you're dealing with 4pin molex then use the connectors from your PSU

Indeed just dont stress out the rails too much: i.e., HDD+HDD+6800U

Thaxs I still have not gotten around to hooking up the fan am waiting for the processor to arrive and put that in before I hook the fans up. I figured out how to put the hardrives in so that not a problem anymore. I was dumb it was very simple it was something that slide out.
