Why is the plastic thing that you'd remove to insert a third bottom fan a box with a hinged lid? What would it be for? Can't find it in the manual.

I read it somewhere, it is to hold wiring from your power supply and or hard drive cables and front panel usb ect.

It is for the third fan. It removes completely. If you remove the screen filter from the bottom, you will notice that it is longer than just two fans, it would appear to be filtering air passing through solid plastic. It is not. There are two 120mm fans that are optional as well as two 80mm exhaust fans for the rear, again optional. I have built several of these HTPC cases and unless you max out your hard drives like I did, you won't need the optional fans. the optional fans are not really needed, but this positive air pressure thing that Silverstone's brochure talks about had me interested seeing the dust bowl scenario I found using the Antec 900 Gaming Enclosure. There was so much dust/dirt inside. Wanted to make sure it worked. It really, really works. Louder than I wanted, but I am more concerned about excessive heat w 5 x 2TB hard drives & 4 x1TB . I hope this answers your question.

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

I honestly don't know. I have since disposed of the unit but don't recall seeing an easy means of opening it (i.e. in a manner similar to oscillating fans)

I tied ours off tight to prevent air leakage. I assumed it was for deflating the whole thing when you roll it up for storage.

This is the replacement lid for the Fan-Tastic vent fan. It has the hinge attached, but did not come with any other hardware. My vent fan has a knob that you turn and this lid goes up or down, there is not 'lid lock' that I know of.

Hi. I looked at the fuse and it looks like it is there to prevent the fan from short-circuiting. If the fuse ever blows, I recommend taking it out and taking it with you to your nearest hardware store so that they can give you the correct size for replacement. Hope this helps!

If you mean the switch on the top, it is the fan speed control. It works as a slider to increase or decrease the fan speed.

My fan is in the back of my computer tower too - so I am unfamiliar with a vent or fan that may on the bottom.Sorry, I could not be more helpful.

Francisco, the fan blows air out the front by sucking air into the rear of the box. The air entering the rear is directed over the ceramic plates and fills the box, effectively cooling the entire mechanism as it works. This negates the requirement for a secondary cooling fan.

I just looked at mine. I noticed that I also had something rattling around inside. Sounded like a small piece of plastic. I saw no easy way to open. It doesn't affect the operation. I'm going to leave it and not worry about it. It's probably just something loose from the manufacturing process.

Look down on the bottom of the fan, inside of that louvered hump there is a large fan like table top fans have but instead of blowing air out it sucks air in. The air goes up the tube and is expelled out of the louvers up and down the tower. It's called a Hybrid Fan because it is a combination table top and tower fan!

Jen is correct, it's just a low vent on the back. It zips down if you don't want it open. But, it is perfect, when open, to put a fan in front of it and keep some fresh air flowing through.

That is not really what it was designed for. It is used to redirect harmful fumes from solder/desoldering in an enclosed area. A large fan might suit your needs a bit better, and less expensive.

It is just a plastic clip that is attached to the shaft of a screw holding the metal band around the fan cage. Pry off the clip with downward pressure and remove screw to clean.

Looks like the fan's case can be disassembled with a screwdriver. Haven't tried, though.

I never tried to open mine & am not sure u should! ;) I use compressed air (like those cans sold for use on computers) & a vacuum & wipe it down. According to user manual: "The fan grilles are removable for cleaning by gently prying the grille from fan using a small screwdriver on the rim of the grille. (DO NOT INSERT SCREWDRIVER INTO THE GRILLE). Use only a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the fan clean." http://homeappliance.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/honeywell/hw628.html?p=6

I have one too, I believe it is a bracket. I don't use it so it stays in the box. You might want to contact the seller to get your answer. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but there are 3 little fans on the bottom that basically take heat away from the bottom of your computer. It works very well. It looks super cheap like it wouldn't work but after many months, still working great. If I turn it on when my computer is hot, it cools down within about 5 minutes.
