I finally ordered the new case fan and now I can't figure out how to get it
installed. I feel like such a dunce. I'm not mechanically inclined by nature
but I know this is a simple problem. I hope I can explain my dilemma
clearly. I have a Micron Millenia XKU 300Mhz tower case. The current case
fan (which is badly in need of replacing) is inside of a small plastic cage
that just hooks into the tower case. Here's my problem. I can't see any way
of opening the small detachable plastic cage to get the new fan inside it. I
don't want to break it. I called Micron tech support and they said because
it was and older model (only 3 1/2 years) that they couldn't pull up a
picture of it. So they were no help. Does anyone have a clue as to what I'm
talking about or is anyone familiar with older Micron cases? The fan
definitely needs to be replaced. It makes terrible thwack, thwack noises on
startup and stays noisy. Did I make a mistake by not buying the replacement
fan directly from Micron (that's a whole other story)?
