It shouldn't be difficult, and you're looking for a small 3-pin connector with red, white, black wires in that order. They only connect one way round. The connectors on the mobo should have FANx written by them - usually FAN1 for CPU, FAN2 for system fan.

Well I did open her up today, and it seems like I don't have a FAN2. I can fit 2 in the front and 1 in the back (not including power supply fan). I flipped both the fans so the front fan is now inhaling air while the back fan is exhausting it. In idle times, the comp is now 7 degrees C cooler. Internal temps seem lower as well. I can feel air coming out from the rear fan, so it must be running
The air coming out from back doesn't seem to be hot, so I doubt the wires back there is gonna suffer from it.
