1) I'm thinking about getting this router: Newegg.com - D-Link DGL-4100 10/100/1000Mbps GamerLounge Broadband Gigabit Gaming Router 1 x 10/100Mbps WAN Ports 4 x 10/100/1000Mbps LAN Ports - Wired Routers
But I don't like the price. To high. So do I really need that router? Would a cheaper one like say 0-50$ range do the job? I plan to wired network suddenlink 1mb/sec, the router I get, I want it to handle 10mb or greater. Because right now I'm cheaping out with the 1mb and plan to upgrade later to faster service. I'm hooking up 2 computers and ps3. Not concerned with how fast files transfer between the two computers, I just want them all hooked up to internet solid as possible fast. Should I get CAT6 cable?
2) The Ultra Kaze, looks to be an amazing fan according to reviews and CFM reports: Newegg.com - Scythe DFS123812-3000 "ULTRA KAZE" 120 x 38 mm Case Fan - Case Fans
What power connectors does it come with? There is no mention of this anywhere. Does it have a little connector that plugs into the system board so I can control fan speed through BIOS? I need it to be 4pin power and a sys board connector would be real nice too. This fan is supposed to be really loud and too powerful at full speed so I'd like to control its speed, of course. I plan to get 2 of them, one for front of case, one for back of case. Should keep temps below 40C which is what they're supposed to stay under correct? My system has alot of heat as it is now and always about 43C on IDLE. I don't know. But them crap fans that came with case.... I can hardly feel them blowing!

Gigabit as in 10/100/1000? well yes one of them does. You linked to a wireless router, I want a wired one.

Wireless routers also have ports for wired PC's. You can clearly see that in the pics of the router. 
And your fan question can also be answered by looking at the pic. 
That is a 3 pin plug.  | |

As KK posted, its a wireless/wired router. If you dont want the wireless enabled, you can disable it | |

As Karma answered, there is a small 3 pin on the fan. It will plug into the 4 pin connector on the mobo ( the clip is offset on the male pins on the mobo ). I am using these as cpu fans on 2 seperate rigs. I also have 4 of them thru controlers on other rigs. They are loud but not that bad. All the ones that I have came with adapters for 4 pin molex ( big ones ).
