I just bought this computer and was looking to install a second hard drive, but was unable to squeeze it into the available 3.5" bay, due to the CPU fan's size. I tried to take off the fan, but after undoing the screws, it wouldn't come off.

Is there a simpler way to install a second hard drive into this computer? There was a green plastic thing on top of the area, but I was unable to remove that, either.

Any help would be great, thanks.
