My small fan appears to have become unfixed and is loose in base unit. Where does it fix to?

NOT COMPLETELY AU FAIT. I HAVE THE LARGE FAN WHICH IS NEXT TO THE HOLES IN THE SIDE OF THE CASE. IT'S THE SMALL FAN I AM PUZZLED ABOUT. I THINK IT COULD BE ON THE CPU, BUT IT'S LOOSE AT THE MOMENT. I WISH I COULD GET A PICTURE OF THE LAYOUT. THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY BTW.

Is it attatched to the case for exhaust or is it on a component?

OK, do you have one in place similar to the photo grasshopper linked to in #3? Skip

Not really, I found it lying on the floor of the base unit. It's a very small fan about 3" square, and doesn't appear to fit or clip on anywhere.

Is this the first time you had the case open. Maybe whoever built it left an extra fan lying in there.
