How to replace Dimension 8300 case fan
The case fan on my Dimension 8300 has now become so noisy and vibrating that it sounds like it's about to die. I just ordered a replacement case fan w/shroud, that's supposed to be the correct Dell 8300 model fan.
Now just how do I remove the old case fan so I can install the replacement? I looked inside the case but I don't see how to remove the old case fan just by inspection.
Also, can I slide the old case fan out of there completely without having to take the heat sink out first, or will the heat sink get in the way?

Replacing the fan is not specifically mentioned, in Dell's manual.
Try using the procedures in this post.
Hint: There's no need to remove the heatsink, to replace the fan/shroud unit.
