What or where does the spring go on the long torque screw?

on the logic board, or the inner bevels on the screw?

where does the mini get input cooling air?? I can see the output ports but don't see any path for inputting cool air.

thanks..

See that the cover has two parts, one of which is covering the WiFi antenna, whose base has holes? That's where the air is coming into the Mini from! All the fan is doing is easing/forcing the flow of air (through negative pressure) to go through the CPU heat sink and being exhausted (hot) through the vents on the back of the case.

As a matter of fact, when you remove the bottom cover, you'll normally see heaps of "dust bunnies" stuck in that side of the cover. Evidence that's where the air originally got into the case.
