Right you are.  I finally decided this evening to get a little piece
of mind and double check the fan.  It's a good thing I did.  It wasn't
working.  I'm suprised my system has stayed up all this time (5 days),
especially considering I use that Marine Aquarium as my screen saver.

Anyway, I reattached the fan connector, reassembled the cube, and
now I definately feel the air coming out of the top.  And if I put
my ear close to it I can even kind of hear it now.  It's running
*much* cooler now.
