The fans will have a arrow on indictaion air flow to so you can go wrong really.

One end will plug into a spare molex connector shown above and then you have a through one so it can bypass to another device like a hard drive. Costs about £1 I got two the other day from Ebuyer and they were colouerd one with UV light.

You can get different connector so be careful and plug into a motherboard

its always good to have a couple of fans one blowing in and one sucking out so the air can circulate.
I brought some ebuyer fans and the bearings went after a year! making hell of a noise!
Not bad for 50p though! :D
