Exactly what model? That green airflow bezel thing should just kinda be hinged and once moved into an UP position easily removed(up as in when the machine is laid down ...I guess left when stood up).

I know that my Dimension everything (including the green fan piece) are pretty easy to get off. Take a look for a couple tabs that you depress and the whole cover might disengage.
There's got to be a way. Good luck.
mrhowell:
you can pull the green cover off.
NightGod:
Up at the top of the green shroud there, the two little lever looking things? Those are levers. Push down on them, pull the shroud towards the front of the PC slightly and then lift the whole thing out.
95% sure that's what you need to do, if you gave me a model number I could check the DCSE website and be 100%.

i very rarely have to change fans,i tend to remove the label to access the bearing compartment(usually there is a little rubber cap to remove) then spray in little wd40 or 3in1 and manipulate the fan up and down in the bearing until it is free
it saves you having to purchase the correct fan,sometimes certain fans can be pricey
ChadTower:
The fan will be nice and quiet if you just unplug it.
