Excellent idea!! Thank you for the creative thinking borne of experience I'm sure! I will try that, sounds like it could work.

or.. buy a new power supply.
Well, just another fan would do (unless PS got worse from overheating).

Those are the connectors on the mobo, right? Not sure how that would work. The problem is getting power to the fan because the wire disconnected inside (actually under) the fan motor assembly. So a connection needs to be made thereabouts, and BSDfan666's suggestion just might do it. I'm going to go try it right now. Will report back.
