[dundee] What is a case fan in a PC for?

[gordon dunlop]

Whether it is true or not, it is soooh funny in that systems can get 
screwed up by stupid things, honestly we have all done these things at 
one time or another .  Many years ago I was trying to impress my 
youngest son after building a  computer, and I was confounded why it was 
not booting until he pointed out that I had not connected the power plug 
(he was only eleven), after that error I managed to get my pride back 
(whew!) when I installed the operating system. But when your are dealing 
with systems on a large scale the effects can be disastrous.
