This won't help if one has an earlier cube.

Can we open the rear panel and simply reverse the fan, if our
cube is the older one?  Has anybody done this?

I think somebody asked this once before, but I havn't seen the
answer.

To make sure, if the air comes out from the rear panel, your
cube is an older one, and your optical may get a lot of dirt.
Correct?
