The fan uses 12V.  I don't know how much, but I've replaced mine with an AC
fan.  The 3b1's power supply is one of the major points of failure, and it
may pay off to take load off it.  Also, the new fan pumps more air, as well
as being louder.

I'd bet that some of the modem circuitry also uses 12V.
