You can either get a fan that plugs into your PSU, or get a converter that changes the 3/4 pin to a PSU connection.

Some of these fans have a PSU connector
Newegg.com - Buy Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more!

Perhaps they sell the converter cables as well, I have only gotten then with fans I have bought though

just one more qauestion.
should the fan on the top of my comp be and intake fan? or blow out?
thx
the one on the side is intake
and the other two, back and front are blowing out

Umm, I'm not sure, I guess intake because 2 out of the current 3 are outtake. Really you want to get air circulation going, usually you have the rear fan as outtake and the front as intake. You want the rear as outtake to get the hot air from the cpu out of the case. (since its the closest fan)
