    This 12v Fan Mod is a lot easier than all the others. The does not require cutting any wires on your Fans, or your DVD Drive, this only takes 1 wire! THIS METHOD IS FOR TYPE 2 MOTHERBOARDS, THIS IS NOT FOR XENON MOTHERBOARDS.

    -Things you will need-

    -Soldering Iron
    -Solder
    -Flux
    -Tools to take apart a 360
    -1-2 inches of 22-30AWG Wire

    -Optional-

    -2 Pieces of 8-10 inch 22-30AWG Wire
    -Toggle Switch
    -LED

    This mod is really simple, all you have to do is bridge 2 points together with a piece of wire.

    AND THAT IS IT!!! Just bridge the 2 points shown in the image and you will have an instant 12v Fan Mod! If you want to add some extras to it, you could add a toggle switch to it or even add a status LED. Here is an image of my 12v toggle switch.

    Also you can use these points under the power supply port.
    Alot easier to solder on, and they're bigger.

    And you don't need the LEDs and switch.

    It's when you solder a wire from 1 via to another solder point.
