I've searched all over the Internet but can't find information on this
topic. I have a second fan from an older computer that I want to transfer to
my new one. This fan has already been removed. I managed that far on my own,
but where do I connect the old fan (two years old) on the new motherboard? I
have a P4C800-E Dlx.
Thanks very much.

Your going to need your Motherboard documentation to find out where to
connect it. You can always get a pass-through power connector to connect to
one of your regular power connectors. It basically gives you a plug that
hooks to one of the regular hard drive connectors, and adds a small 4 pin
connector to it. and the regular connector just passes through, and can
still be used. Here is an example of what I mean:

Any computer place worth its salt should carry these.

Thanks. However, my problem is that I ran out of connectors. All of my fans
are 3-pin. Are there connectors "extension bars" that I can get. My fan is
installed in my system but not hooked up because there's no connector to
connect it to.

That's what is great about these pass-through connectors. You take out
one of your cd-rom connectors or hard drive connectors, put one of these
suckers in there, and you can still hook up your hard drive or cd-rom, you
just now have an extra fan connector. Its a pass-through, because it
doesn't take away any of your connectors, just adds an extra fan connector,
get it?

Yes, I see what you mean. I didn't think of using the other connectors but
the fan's. Thanks a lot.
