My case comes with 2 3pin fans that go into my fan controller, then ive got 1 rear fan that comes with a molex. Then behind the motherboard is 2 other molex but the problem is my PSU only comes with 2 molex connectors, so i was wondering if you could stack them or something like that and if so could someone explain how and possibly link me a pic?

Also when iv'e looked at unboxings of the case, the usb 3.0 cable is like a normal usb cable that leads through to the back but mine is like 1 cable that looks like one of these - http://usb.brando.com/usb-3-0-dual-20-pin-header-to-usb-3-0-4-port-hub-bracket_p02846c046d015.html

They've either changed the case a little or something is missing....

EDIT: Also another question: my case doesn't come with bracket's will the hard drive and Ssd come with brackets or what?

That USB cable is supposed to plug directly into the motherboard if it has the appropriate slot. If not you might need to get an adaptor to run it out the back of your case into the IO panel. What mother board are you putting in the case?

EDIT: Just re read your post, I've no idea about stacking molex's but I would guess if it is just fans then it should be fine as they are not a big draw on power. I'm sure someone who knows better will answer more thoroughly.

The molex from the front of the case should be for the LCD temp display and ( i think ) fan controller, I have stacked another fan onto this molex and all seems fine.

The USB 3.0 on my Z9 U3 is the usb connector that you expected, so they have maybe updated the case as you say.

The drive 'brackets' are included with the case. Look for several black washer looking items, when paired with the appropriate screws ( also included with the case ) they screw to the sides of the drives and slide into the lower drive cage of case.
Your ssd may come with a sled, if not there is an ssd mounitg point just behind the motherboard tray, which is where I have my sdd.

hope that helps.
