The computer has two types of fans in its case. You have the cpu fan which is mandatory or the computer won't run (in most cases that is) and then there are case fans which are usually used in the back of the case to pull out the hot air and also fans up front (on some cases) to pull air in. To use the fan you have noted here you would have to leave the side of the case off, allowing additional dust to enter the system. Could you use this fan, Yes. It is wise to do so, No. May I suggest you purchase a proper case fan from Newegg. Housewares Shoppe

If you leave the case off you have a chance of dropping something on it, spilling something into it...at the very least getting it dusty and besides that it looks kind of ugly, unless you like looking at all the stuff in there. But most of all, with the case off, you are merely blowing air around with no sense of direction. Probably will not cool as well in most cases. Put a cabinet fan in if you havn't already and put your cover back on. Product Review Blogs
