Bulding Help

Ok, I've just gotten my new components and have an issue...

I have an antec P182 case ande Abit Pro Ip35 Mobo...I'm following the instructions on the sticky on this forum but they seem vague to me...

I'm struggling on the part where it mentions about the "Locate the risers to go into the mobo, they are gold pins..."
It goes along something like that, in the screws I was supplyed with the case I only recieved 3 of these...
I was wondering, do I need more because I counted 9 earthed hole within the mobo but only receieved 9 screws...

But in the case there seems to be ones already inserted, so my question is are these the risers already inserted?

Sorry if I'm vague and confusing, dont know how to describe it...

Thanks in advance!

The risers are already in this case.

thanks for that so far, got onto installing the CPU Cooler correctly but another problem,

I have this Cooler http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-039-TR

And this fan http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-001-NC

And this mobo http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-135-AB

The fan has 3 pins but labelled CPUFAN on the mobo has 4pins so I cant seem to connect them?
Any help, it comes with a 4 pin adapter but the pins are much bigger... :S

I wouldn't worry about it too much, only benefit of it having 3-pin socket is monitoring the fan RPM in the BIOS/Windows. Just plug the 4-pin molex into the PSU, the motherboard won't complain it can't "find" a CPUFAN

You can just plug it into one of the 3 pin case fan headers

so its good to go in the ones labelled AUXFAN1 an SYSFAN1 etc?

yup, they are basically the same, just the fan speeds will show up in the wrong places, but it wont matter at all
