Image Notes
1. Warm off Cool
2. side panel
Image Notes
1. 92mm
Step 3: Go shopping
Look online or your local computer store for a hi airflow fan but remember the more air flow the louder it will be. ball bearing fans are louder but the lubricant in them
degrades vary slow (long life). Sleeve bearing fans are quieter but the lubricant in them degrades faster then a ball bearing fan.
And if you don't want to have to mod the side panel don't get a fan that is thicker then the one it has
I found a fan at newegg with over 100cfm (cubic feet per minute) that it moves but it is at 56 dBa (decibel)
