those need to be hooked to 4pin fan headers on your mobo.
but as long as u buy a silent fan, i see little need to PWM fans attached to mobo fan header.

fwiw, I tried getting away with the stock cooler and gave up after a week. It did fine keeping everything cool but it was loud. I didn't want to spend 50 on the big shuriken cooler but after installing it I can definitely say it was worth it.

The ML03B case looks really nice, but I can't find a way to plug in the USB 3.0 connector to the ASRock A75M USB header. It looks like the motherboard only has USB 2.0 headers. Any idea, or am I missing anything?Unfortunately, ASRock places all four USB 3.0 ports on the A75M's rear panel.......

Thanks!

I live outside USA and the cost of shipping is in pounds (I live in Dominican Republic and it's a little expensive). My problem is with the Case and the Power Supply (Too heavy) and i was looking for some of them on my country, i've found a Case that meets my wishes:
Linkworld Electronic Home Theater Media PC Case it's 40 Dollars here.
I want to know if this Power Supply would work just fine in this HTPC:
Cooler Master RS550-PCARE3-US eXtreme Power Plus 550W it's 64 Dollars here.
This is the only part missing to assemble my HTPC, waiting for answers and thanks in advance

You'll need this "ASUS F1A75-M LE - Motherboard - micro ATX - Socket FM1 - AMD A75 - USB 3.0 - Gigabit Ethernet" to use front USB 3.0....
