Hey,
I've purchased a new computer with a new case and everything.
I got everything except for the mobo which is due in a few days.
The case I bought is an A-Top 8511 Black aka "XBlade".
I would really like to see how the case looks with the LED fans on but don't have enough patience to wait untill my motherboard arrives.
Is it possible to install the PSU and connect the fans without the mobo?
Although this is probably just being paranoid, I would still like to make sure before I try, don't want to torch the case the day I got it :) .

Thanks in advance,
Mr. Longshot

if the fans are 2 or 3 pin mobo tails, get some fan-to-molex convertors and a PSU tester... connect the convertors to the fan connections, then into the molex connectors on the PSU, then attach the tester and turn it on... w00sh...

Both the front 12cm fan and the side panel 8cm fan have 2 pins.
Can I plug the side panel fan to a PSU I have on another computer which is connected to a motherboard and everything?
