Vantec Tornado fan screw size different from Chenbro gaming bomb case holes

[Maniac618]

Hi guys,

Nothing so far to do with my PC building mission has gone smoothly and this is no exception.

I've bought a Vantec Tornado fan to put at the front of my Chenbro Gaming Bomb case.

The case metal holes aren't quite big enough for the screws that came with the Vantec Fan. So screwing it in is madness and I haven't been able to yet. Also the plastic fan screw holes have no 'bite' to take the screws so how the hell are the screws meant to go into the fan itself?

If I want air to be blown around the case and not out of the case by this fan. Does the moving part face the inside of the case or out at the grill? Help, as usual, oh and have I mentioned before that I'm a n00b?

ok its in the case (only just).....

next question...

It needs to be connected to the power (obviously)....

Cnn i connect this particular fan to the "fan only" power connector left over from my power supply (i suppose my other fan is using the other "fan only" connector). This fan has 4 metal things in the connector not 2 which the "fan only" power conenctor has.

Also, the fan connector has out of line "pins" so I'm really ****ed right now considering the thing is proper screwed in and the hard drive has it locked in too. Oh, and can the power extension from the power supply through the hard drive and to the fan work, or is that dangerous and i should use another connector?

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp. thanks so far.
