OK, I know this is a really basic question for those of you building these wild super-cooled machines...

I'm building my first computer (always owned a store-bought brandname previously) and I'm curious about the case fan connections. My case has four case fans each fan has a lead which comes out of the fan that terminates in two plugs, one male and one female. How do you hook these fans up? I'm guessing that you start by plugging one into a lead from the power supply... do you then "daisy chain" the fans together?

Sorry to sound so lame, but I've never done this before and I know you guys can keep me from screwing it up.

yep, daisy chaining is the way to go.

Yes Daisy Chain.

I usually put the 2 back fans on on PS Plug and use another PS Plug for the 2 front. Assuming the 4 fans are front and back.

That way it keeps all the wire bundled away from the air flow thru the case.
