Both are held in by black plastic fasteners that look as
if they crimp to remove. I want to replace the top fan
and wonder if this is feasible.

Has anyone done this? Pointers?

Push out the little pin in the center of the fasteners.
The pin is nearly invisible, but you can se it from the inside.

Many thanks!!

Fortunately I asked first before squeezing or otherwise destroying them.

It's also practically impossible without removing the psu and/or DVD
drive. They seem like a neat method of connection but they've cost me
hours bitching about trying to get them out.

I stopped using my top fan and covered the hole - this was after I
discovered not a single degree's difference in case system temps
between having the fan running and not. Haven't done any o/cing though,
guess that might change things.


Thanks, Caroline.
