I am upgrading the above machine for my friend.

The only components which are still original inside the case are the mobo, cpu and 80gb Samsung Hard Drive.

I replace the Copper CPU with a Startech 478 Fan/Heatsink.
The Chassis Fan with a Arctic Cooling F9 PWM REV.2 90mm.

The problem I have run into is the startech uses a standard 3 pin pwm plug yet the mobo is a weird dell one (a type 3) does anybody know where I can get a dell to 3 pin adapter or swap the wires from the old fan to the dell plug. The dell wires were white/red.black and the startech are blue/red/black.

The second problem is the Arctic F9 it uses a 4 pin pwm. I would like to connect this to a Molex connector. The wire colours on the Arctic are black/yellow/green/blue. Does anybody know of an adapter or which wires I chop to connect directly to a 12v source.

Thankyou
 
4 pin to molex adaptors are easily found.

Not sure what you are wanting to gain from swapping the cooler though, isnt the stock one ducted to the rear of the case and quiet already?
