That's the rule that's always been in contention for me:

Does this mean any fan part of a computer is legal for use outside the computer, or legal for use only when it is integral to the device?
Kit and FIRST Choice fans seem to be legal in all cases, but many teams buy extra fans (sometimes for reduced noise).
