Why is the fan located on the side, rather on top?

It is just one of many variations on design for CPU coolers. For some cases this might fit better. On mine it lined up with the ventilation louvers better.

There is a switch at the top of the fan. All the way at the top. It looks like a screw sticking out.

Actually, the vents might be on the side. I don't recall exactly. But you should be able to see the fan blades through said vents. I'll bet they're no longer turning.

There are two 80mm fan mounts for the bottom half of the case. They are intended to exhaust air, but you could turn the fans around and draw air in. The fans would point straight at one of the drive bays.

This unit is open on the bottom. Fans exposed ; I didn't realize that when I purchased.

The case supports installing the P/S "upside up or upside down", such that the fan can be on either side (user manual, page 2). The case filter is inside the front panel, and I am using the top fan for additional venting.

There is one additional spot on the bottom of the case for a fan that isn't included. It's big enough for a 120mm fan.

You are right, it comes off the lower left side. It's about 4-5 feet long. Try this: Put the fan in the window upside-down. THis is especially helpful if you put it in the top half of double-hung windows.

It's to hide cables. If you have cables going all over the place it impedes the airflow and cooling in the case.

You should pull air out of the back of the case. If you look on the edges of the fan there are arrows that indicate air flow direction . use this to help you install.

I wouldn't set it on its side, the fan needs ventilation to cool down and the cd/DVDs drive isn't intended to load sideways. That being said there are CPUs like all in ones that sit that way. Personally I wouldn't do it.

Bob take the feet had snap them into the square slots at the bottom of the fan. you will notice that the feet are arrow at one end and have flat shapeon the other end this the end you snap into the bottom slots on the fan. Please let me know if this answers your question?

You have to measure the case location where you want to put the fan. But in most situations, there should be no problems installling a new fan

The fan is on the bottom side where the mixer can set up. Just below the power cord.

There is a switch either on the motor or the control to reverse the direction of the fan.

The fan looks like it may be 120mm, but the area where it fits may not be completely square. I added some photos of the view from inside the unit. I am not sure how the fan is removed, perhaps from the top?

- one on the side - one at the top - one at the back - one at the front I added 1 extra fan at the top since there is an opening spot, I use this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002LE8BJA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Hope this helps
