About this, my machine is missing the front HD cage. I also have looked and looked, I cannot find *any* open spot for powering the front fan. Is this possibly something that was not on the really early versions of this machine. The board is a rev. A and according to Kennedy, on the earliest units had the J38 pins already in place (which mine does). It surprised me that the cage would be missing since every other piece (even all the PCI slot cover plates) is all factory, I didn't even know that it had a space there for an HD until this topic came up.
