And I'm going to show you how to install an internal case fan into your computer. The first step is to identify how it's going to install. Case fans can install in a couple of different ways.

These simply go like this, you push them where this clip is, push them in and they simply snap in place. Very easy. Now to install it you have a couple of different connectors one is a small connector like this, that will plug in to a port on your mother board.

My name is James and I must showed you how to install a case fan into your computer."
