Samsung Magic Station DMV55 Desktops PC - Intel Pentium D 3.40GHz, 2GB DDR2 Memory, 80GB HDD, DVD/CD-RW, Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (Off-Lease) - RB-825633304833

now I bought this as well
BitFenix Neos Window Computer Case - Full Tower, 8x Drive Bays, 7x PCI Slots, White/Purple - BFC-NEO-100-WWWKP-RP
I got this for my 8yr daughter for beginner level pc.
But when I took the guts out of the pc and put it into the new case I couldn't hook up the fans for the exhaust and intake which are your front and back fans there was no spot for them on mobo is there a special connector for psu I can get for them too work ????
 
Solution
You can hook a 3 Pin into a 4 Pin PWM fan connector. One pin hangs on the side.

They make an adapter to go from a 4pin molex (old hard drive power connector) to a 3 pin fan. Or if you're handy with a soldering iron and some heat shrink tubing you could do it yourself.

That being said, I hope you didn't pay too much for that computer. It's pretty old. If you wanted cheap you could have found an AMD E350 itx board which would be far superior to the P4-D. Better graphics, better memory support (DDR3), better power usage (<30W), and overall better for basic usage.

Oh - good. :) They (tigerdirect) were listing them on eBay for $130.00 which is -way- too much for something that old. There was an AMD E350 nettop (little super small form factor) for $125 with 4gb ram and an SSD floating on eBay which would have been ideal for what you wanted this for.
