Topic: Noob question

So I'm really really confused and I've only ever built like a few things so bare with me because I honestly have no idea. So I'm kinda just wondering what the little red peg thingies do and how I attach them together and the like plug socket type thing also. Can I just scrap them altogether and solder everything together? Also How do I know what way the fans go up?

Somehow surprisingly I understand whats ment to connect to what, I just don't know how and I'm struggling to find what I'm ment to screw in and stuff to finish the box.

Thanks.

Re: Noob question

A picture of what you're referring to would be helpful, but it sounds like you are referring to the quick disconnect terminals that are used for connecting the switches.

It is not advisable to solder directly to the terminals, it will be difficult to get a good connection. The proper solution is to crimp the terminals onto wires, and then slide the terminals onto the switches.
