http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=92774

and im stuck on step 4:
FOURTH, Locate a power connector (I had an extra laying around), and solder the yellow 12V wire to the white wire that was connected to the fuse/spring. Solder the black to the white wire that was connected to the outter ground and cover in electrical tape!

i can't find any power connectors. what kind of hardware would have them? where can i buy them?

Wow....... um a fan would have a connector. To solder two wires....... you need a soldering iron, solder and heatshrink tubing- avalible at rad shack- Umm- you take the two wires- stip the plastic off them like 1/2inch, put hs tubing on on side, pull it back- take the two wires- twist them together- solder it- then put the hs tubing over the joint and heat it so it seales the connection- good luck :-D
 
hm.. ok
thx!!
is the heatshrink tubing needed or just make thigns easier?
