I would like to up the cooling in my Optiplex 990 MT I5. It does not have any spare fan headers (it uses nonstandard 5 pin). There is a grill in the front with no fan and the fan in the back is a little anemic. I want this as I would like to put a low power graphics card and the current HD temp is 111F

Solution
I found one picture of your Optiplex 990
I can see your pain - 5 pin connector with actual 4 wires is this correct, so we need to look elsewhere for extra fan.
The only option so far is something looks like this
AOC FC-2000 PCI Slot Case Cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835888309
The only problem is extra power connector, do you have any?
Do you use 2 hard drives and 2 DVDRWs?
