Default Case Side Fan on Antec Three Hundred?

This is probably a really stupid question, but..

I currently have an Antec Three Hundred Case, with fans in all the available slots, including the side one.

But, I can't figure out how I'm supposed to connect the one on the side to the MOBO fan controller when it seems that the goddamn cable is impossible to reach if the case is open...

Also, is there like a quick release fan cable I can get so, like, if i opened the case the side fan would automatically disconnect? or whatever?

Help please guys

Could try to find a molex to 3 pin fan connector, they usually come with the standard antec tricool fans. Or find a 3 pin extension cable from www.frozencpu.com

Normally, I think you would get a 3pin converter to a molex connector so you can plug them in to your PSU

Probably the only thing you can do is get a fan extension cable (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...ension&x=0&y=0).

Alternatively, get some wire from Radio Shack, cut your fan cable, and solder in an extension (make sure you insulate the connections).
