click. See pics.
basically I'm not sure if my case fan (that's the thing on the side of the computer right?) is 1) facing the right way and 2) pointing at the right direction
If you need more shots of specific things tell me. Um...if you do instructions and they require things that I don't understand (ie: everything), edit my screenshots or use your own, along with detailed circles and other gibberish.
Or teach it to me nice and slowly....

It's easy.
Put your hand behind your computer (outside), if the fan blows on it, it's pointing in the right direction. (You want the air to go out of the case).
You should use screws though, not a rubber band like it seems you did. Just go to a computer parts shop, and ask them for the screws/bolts to mount a case fan.
And then there is Death

In-take fan? *shrug*
I know it's really bad practice, but I've resorted to using a room fan (the oscillating types) to cool my computer down. My computer fan isn't powerful enough, or is doing something wrong when I attach it to the air grate (there doesn't appear to be air coming out)
All confused I am....somebody come over and fix it for me

Then it's most likely mounted backwards, and it's drawing air <i>in</i> the case, instead of blowing it out.
Also use proper mounting (and not that wire) so that the air doesn't flow between the fan and the case (partially staying inside) instead of going out.
And then there is Death
