I don't recommend this unit: the PSU is not powerful enough to upgrade a good graphic card. It's 12V only. Mobo is not a standard one with strange connectors. You cannot replace power supply with a standard one. I purchased and returned mine. Just for your information and awareness. If you don't plan to upgrade and use for surfing and basic office works, it's not bad at this price.

My guess is either there was a faulty batch of capacitors somewhere, or there were thousands of these things put into government or similar use on a short term contract (this and the other acer aspire sff systems. Possibly both.

There is one other fan power plug on the motherboard. I also want to know if it's easy to just swap out the cpu fan or maybe just plug in another fan and have it push some air out of the case
@paul3000, Any more research into this spare fan power plug and what a good fan choice is for extra cooling?

there is a 3.5" bay for a HDD (I put a 2.5" SSD). You have one SATA power connector available and 3 SATA connectors on the motherboard.
If I want to add a 3.5" drive do I need to also purchase a SATA power cable and a SATA data cable? Or are there spares already in the machine?
