The green part is the duct that ducts the air out of the passive heatsink on dell systems to the rear exhaust fan. That 80mm fan can be had for $3-$10. Why do you think the PSU and HDD are going on you BTW?

Well I had my brother clean out the insides this past week with canned air, including the fans and PSU and the fans dont seem to be spinning fast at all. He was able to get just about all of the dust out - and htats good considering the thing hasnt been cleaned for 6yrs!
I put my hand next to the vents after the system has been on for awhile and can barely feel any air blowing out. I just remember when I first got the thing, the fans were pushing more air out. Maybe this is normal? Who knows, maybe I dont need a new PSU. I would hate to waste money on a new one if I dont need it.
