... on this stupid Dell PC. So anyway, the case fan is starting to give up the ghost and it needs to be replaced soon by a 92mm Panaflo. However, it seems the fan is mounted with - what I suppose is - rubber grommets (probably to isolate noise and such). How do I take the fan off without breaking them? :confused: I tried pulling the fan out but it doesn't seem to come out without having to break something...
 
Pull the rubber grommets first out then remove a fan?

Reuse them after it. They are mostly very flexible So they can be used few times

Thanks for your quick reply. I didn't know they were that flexible. And I didn't want to find out first hand ya know... ;) If they break, small things like that are very hard to come by where I live... :eek:
