  The only "standard" or "common" fans are (1) the one in the power
supply of the computer, and (2) the fan on the heatsink (if attached) on
the CPU.
  Neither of these fans are situated to be useable for monitor cooling
(if that is percieved to be desirable).
  So, if you really wnat monitor cooling, then the best way is to void
the warrantee, open the case, and add a fan inside; pointed towards the
power supply section.
  But.
  Be *EXTREMELY* careful; the CRT can have a charge on it up to thirty
thousand volts, never mind you have not used the monitor for months.  If
you do not know what you are doing, and how to behave and operate around
high voltages, then !leave it alone!
