2. not a system fan
There are numerous connectors for those, and they are slightly different in style. The thing was delivered to my possession with 5 case fans, massive fans and heat sinks all over, and the suggestion I get more. Ive never seen one quite like this, short of water cooled systems online and way out of my price range. If I can get it running again, I will need to replace these fans, the thing is louder than my vacuum. I am used to tinkering with low end hardware, and this is... not that.

I plugged a few things in, and trial and error has found only one spot that works for the power switch. Unfortunately, now its perma on. If the power is plugged in, the computer is on. Cant turn off, cant reset. I dropped in a new video card, and tried the old one on my other system. the video card checks our fine, and the new system actually booted into windows, but no mouse or keyboard control. I swapped cards back, and now nothing on the screen.

I was really hoping that there is some way to read the numbers on the board by the pins or a logical intel setup for the pin bank.
