[CUBE] Status report - Cube upgrades

[herr friedl]

i had the same problem with the fan connector and after i made the 
wires fit in the connector again, i had a little piece of newspaper 
stick on top of the cube reaching over the grill. i was always very 
happy to see it dancing when turning on my cube. a month after 
installing, i trust my fan and finally removed it.
