The case fans connectors plug into the hooded male fan connectors from the fan controller. If you take the rear cover off the case, you'll see one of the fans already plugged in. Then find the feed to the fan controller, probably a Molex connector, and plug it into any Molex from the PSU.

I think I explained that above. The large connector in the foreground in this pic is the Molex connector that feeds the fan contoller:

If the fans' female connectors come already plugged into their male plugs from the fan ctrl, all you need to do is plug that Molex into one from the PSU.
