Thanks, that did it! :) I plugged in the other fan as an extra exhaust fan
to pick up the psu fan's slack.

Or, there's the cheap route-- take 2 small pieces of steel wire, make a loop
on one end of each of them, stick the straight ends into the fan connector
and the loop ends into the power connector, then just screw in the fan and
flip the power switch. :) Guess which route I took? ;)
I'm not going to buy a new psu since this one is still pretty much working--
just not quite as much as it *was*.
If you don't hear anything more in this thread, assume this did the trick. :)
Thanks, all! :)
