What is the name of the connector that attaches to the motherboard that the picture below would plug into? The fans wire would plug into that I am talking about. It is a little piece that gets soldered to the motherboard. (the female piece of what the picture is of.)

What is that called and where would I get it?

I think it's a 3 pin Molex connector. You can get it anywhere since it's commonly used for PCs. It could be a 4 pin connector but it's hard to tell from the picture.

I don't think anyone can give you a definitive 100% answer from that picture though.

there are 3 metal plugs that come out of the bottom of the connector. 3 wires plug into it. And I don't know what you are talking about getting it anywhere.. would it be radioshack or what?

Yeah, they should have those types. There are several versions shown here

I had a better link listing some of the more obscure types, but lost the bookmark. The one you want is probably on that page above though.

hmm thanks. But the one that I had had 3 metal pins coming out of the bottom to connect and get soldered onto the ps2 motherboard. Not sure what to do..
