    The manual doesn't show how to remove the fan ..i'm going to see if i can pop the black 'housing' loose from the case - the grid in the back. that ssems to be the best bet for getting the whole thing out .. to see how the fan is mounted in it. can always glue it back on if the tabs break.

    The solution is 2 black tabs on the black fan 'housing' ..gently push down & they release a 'lock' tab allowing removal of the complete black plastic fan housing with fan inside. fan is mounted on some rubber grommet type things.

The dell dimension 8300 is run in high end then low

This indicates that the Processor is getting too hot. When the Processor gets hot the computer is programed to increase fan speed to cool itself down. To solve this problem you will want to install a chassis fan in your computer's chassis, either bringing freash air into system (intake) or as an exhaust blowing air out of your computer system. Purchase them at your local computer store they are inexpensive and are a great asset to your computer system.

Another option that will help the most is to clean the processor fan of dust. Dust accumulates over the heatsink and prevents the cool air from cooling your processor. Remove the dust with a vaccum cleaner and a paint brush. Do it in a very gental manner as you don't want to damage the fan blades. In some cases it is possible to remove the fan and get at the dust that way.

Take care!

Computer has shut down and can not re-start

The Dell 8300 does not use industry standard parts. You need Dell specific parts in order to replace the fan. Here is a link to a replacement fan shroud assembly for your Dimension: http://www.discountelectronics.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=845
You may be able to find cheaper if you do a Goggle search and dig deeper. Hope this helps & please take a moment to rate this solution. Thanks.
