'Goodbye' .. Big Boy?

[nicmcc]

Hi chaps

Got a pc spec pc ages ago with an antec 902 v3 case with the Big Boy 200 fan at the top.

The oddest thing happened the blade panel came spinning off! The next odd thing is i can put it back on but it takes ages to 'sit' or not rattle then spin off.. and if i go to a lan it normally comes off in trans and the whole chore starts again, sitting machine on its side is a nono see pic.

Literally have to have the side panel off the pc on and try to make it balance... ofc i have the fear it'll shoot off and tear up my machine mid gaming so often i leave it off..

Is it actually meant to come off like this? if so is there a knack to getting it back on?

See pic attached

It is broken, time for a whole new fan assembly. You will need to buy a new 200mm fan and fit it by the looks of it.

Ah no, kinda thought as much but had this odd notion it was held on there by magnetism.

SSD just failed an all, hurrar, fragile these modern pcs.

I'll have a butchers for another one. cheers.
