    Alot/Most cases have space for 1 (or 2) fans on the back of the case, just below the power supply. Alot of cases also have space for a fan at the bottom front of the case!

    The only thing your really have to consider when buying case fans is the noise there going to make... molex is definetly the best power connector to use as it alows you to daisy chain your fans (as there wont be enough molex connectors from the PSU for each fan to have one each :p)

    Yep, think about getting a good quality low noise fan. Check on the top of your case if there's a grill-space for an extra 80mm fan.

    The 4-pin connectors the fans use are exactly like what optical and hard drives use. This is the molex connector.

    Molex is a type of plug, used to supply power to hard drives, cd drives etc. I presume a daisy chain is where you plug in the fan using a Molex, and then another molex comes out to plug into a hard drive or something (maybe another fan).
