Can someone tell me what is in the green circle? There is this one and another one on the bottom of the MOBO that is black. Are they fan ports or something else? Sorry about the Pic quality I took it will my VERY OLD 1.3 MP camera :(

Oh the Mobo model is E210882

They are called cd-in audio. Really not required to be attached to analog port of cdrom cause you can get sound through the IDE cable. Might be used in different applications but as far as everyday general use, not required.
 
I thing they are basically phased out anymore. Most CD-Audio is just read digitally though the interface. Much higher quality and all...

Some cheaper capture cards use them for their audio. I've seen modems use them as well... But if you look around, you should see a CD-IN label or something :P
 
Very :(

But luckily for you a lot of fans also have a 4 pin power dongle connector. :)

AHHH What the hell is that ? It sounds like something you would find in womans bed room or something. Not mention the single fan port on this thing is different than what I have seen before. It has 3 prongs but it has snap lock on it, I dont think I can get a spilter for it. I think I'm going to get a few Molex splitters to to add some fans on because right now there is only a exhaust fan hooked up. Yes thats right there is not even a processor fan on there, just HUGE heat sink.

Thankfully I got this thing for free because I would not pay more than $50 for it.
 
You could also get a fan controller, most of em have molex plug in for power, and like four smaller three prong things (you know like the ones on mobos) to go out to fans.
