The first picture is because that fan port is not present on that motherboard. The other ones are present. Your best option is probably just to get a power adapter to run the fan off of a Molex power adapter. Something like this should work fine (for 3 pin fans):

http://www.amazon.com/HDE%AE-4-Pin-Molex-3-Pin-Cable/dp/B0081K3ZS0/

And it is only $4.24 including shipping. Or:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812189119

for $3.98 with free shipping:

If you want to look up something like this on your own, it is called a Molex fan adapter.
