If this places fans are any good there are some real steals here because the prices are outrageously low

Anyone tell me if these fans are any good? Which ones?

More importantly, do they come with the 3 or 4 pin header or do we have to make that ourselves? If so, how?
 
well if at the minimum they are ball bearing fans, that should be fine. Never heard of them though. But what do you really lose to try?
 
dooooood

this site has some good stuff. If anything, thanks for the link :)
 
Ya, but Im a noob and I need to know if they will have a 3 or 4 pin header or if I am stuck having to make my own ... anyone know?

If I have to make my own, anyone know of a good tutorial?

Most likely these fans come with bare wires... you'll need to do your own soldering to put a 3pin or a 4pin molex connector on... depending on the rated voltage of the fan, solder the wires in this manner...

Red(+) black(-) = 5v
Yellow(+) red(-) = 7v
Yellow(+) black(-) = 12v <--- most likely it'll be this one..
 
I do not have a solder iron ...

Isnt there wire / plug units you can buy like the wire / plug units you have to buy when you get a Panaflo fan
 
Twist the bare leads together and use electrical tape :) Not very perminant, but gets the job done!
