I got a filter for the 140mm side fan and after booting up, I thought I heard it kinda scrape against it a bit, so I poked it with the screwdriver (I tried to be very gentle) and broke one of the fins. The sound was persisting after I disconnected the fan, and found it was the rear fan; I felt so stupid, needless to say. I super-glued the fin back on just a couple hours ago, and hopefully it'll be enough to hold it into place for normal operations. The filter has a slight tear, but it isn't that noticeable, so I'm not concerned with it. I might get another one for the other side hole, but I'm not sure, considering that the case has positive pressure with the side fan running (I think it's just about neutral without the fan at the moment).
I also upgraded the Wifi card, which didn't change anything, but it allowed me to give Lie-chan the one that Mei-chan had before (and give the Dell the one that was in Lie-chan)
I'll write again when I test out the fan after the glue dries (I'm gonna give it a day or two).
