I am mostly finished building a new computer with a Fractal Design Define R4 with Window Black Pearl S case. There was a strange sound coming from the backmost case fan when the power was on, though, like a constant clicking. I looked up possible solutions, and found only that it might be hitting something. I couldn't find what it was when the power was off, so...stupidly...I tried to find what it was when the power was on. It seems that a single blade of the fan broke off.
The clicking, however, stopped.
So here's my question: How big of a deal is this? Do I need a new case? (Please say no.) Do I need to get a replacement for the fan? Or, since the computer seems to be otherwise fine, and it is no longer making noise, am I just a lucky idiot?
