Amiga 1200 - Tower case PSU fan replacement

I've had this AmigaKit tower converted 1200 for a long time now; probably at least 10 years. I went off using it for a bit as the power supply that was included (a very, very basic ATX style thing) was horrendously noisy.

Finally, after properly sorting out the new office, I decided to do something about it in August 2020.

There's nothing special about it; it's a generic PC style ATX power supply, but a very cheap one. Not that an Amiga 1200 needs anything remotely special.

It's a very cheap power supply as it doesn't even have a fan header - it's soldered directly to the PCB. That will need some connectors adding.

.. and that's the fan. Yet again it's a bog standard 80x80x25mm 12v DC fan. There's all sorts of things to replace it with, but I'll probably stay with something like a basic Coolink or Noctua - nothing expensive.
