its simple, I did it last month connected 3 of them to my mobo, if ur moboc does not have fan socket the u wil have to connect to the 12 v plugs coming from ur power supply.

either ur cabby should have an option for fans, (mine has cuts for 80mm) or u need to make a cut, just take the cabby to some gud lathe machine guy & explain it to him, rest he will do, take the mobo out from the cabby before that.
