OK. What's a case fan? How would I know if I have one in my PC or not?

This guy right here, under your power supply and above where your graphics card will fit, some PCs which ship without graphics cards have been known to come without a fan there, just have the grate for a fan to be attached but they just rely on passive cooling of air going into the case.

Also never consider cooling a PC by operating it with the side of the case off! if anything the PC will run a lot hotter with the side plate open because it's designed for air flow when the case is closed.

Edit - FML that is some awful plastering of a URL on that picture... tip, never go to my super pc . com lol

OK. Cool. It already has a fan there.
