Hi Robin,
You want either of the ball bearing fans, the only difference is the
connection for the power. I would guess that since the original is a
variable speed, then you want the one with the MB connector. The way to
confirm is to open the case and see if it has the big 4-prong plug, like a
hard drive, or if it plugs onto the motherboard. Always take a ball bearing
fan over sleeve bearings, quieter and longer lasting.

 Hi --

I need to replace the case fan on a Micron Millenia XKU 300 tower model. I
called Micron and was told that the fan is 92mm variable speed. I am going
to order it from http://www.cyberguys.com but out of the three available I
don't which is the right one. Here are the options:

Case Fan, 92mm Case Fan @ $2.99
Case Fan, 92mm Ball Bearings @ $6.19
Case Fan, 92mm Dual BB W/MB Connector @ $6.99

What's the difference between these three and how do I choose?
