A cooling device having a heat receiving portion, a heat radiating portion, a heat pipe, and a fan. The heat receiving portion is held on a wiring board and thermally connected to a heat-generating component. The heat radiating portion radiates the heat generated by the heat-generating component, at a position remote from the heat receiving portion. The heat pipe transfers the heat generated by the heat-generating component, from the heat receiving portion to the heat radiating portion. The heat pipe couples the heat receiving portion and the heat radiating portion. The fan applies cooling air to the heat radiating portion. The fan is coupled to the heat radiating portion.

What is claimed is: 1. A cooling device for cooling a heat-generating component, comprising: a heat receiving portion thermally connected to the heat-generating component; a heat radiating portion which radiates heat generated by the heat-generating component, at a position remote from the heat receiving portion; a heat-transferring component which transfers the heat generated by the heat-generating component, from the heat receiving portion to the heat radiating portion, and which connects the heat receiving portion and the heat radiating portion; and a fan which applies cooling air to the heat radiating portion, wherein the heat radiating portion includes first and second brackets projecting toward the fan, and the fan is fixed to the first and second brackets so as to be held in a position with respect to the heat radiating portion. 2. The cooling device according to claim 1, wherein the heat-transferring component is a heat pipe which has a container made of metal, and the container defines a positional relation between the heat receiving portion and the heat radiating portion. 3. The cooling device according to claim 1, wherein the fan includes a fan case and an impeller provided in the fan case, the fan case having an outlet port for discharging cooling air and being coupled to the heat radiating portion, with the outlet port opposed to the first and second brackets. 4. The cooling device according to claim 1, wherein the heat receiving portion, the heat radiating portion and the heat-transferring component are assembled together, forming one module, and the module is secured to a wiring board, with the heat receiving portion held on the wiring board. 5. The cooling device according to claim 1, wherein the heat radiating portion includes a plurality of heat-exchanging plates arranged at intervales, a first end part located at one end of a row of the heat-exchanging plates, and a second end part located at other end of the row of the heat-exchanging plates, the first bracket being formed at the first end part of the heat radiating portion, the second bracket being formed at the second end part of the heat radiating portion. 6. A cooling device for cooling a heat-generating component, comprising: a heat receiving portion thermally connected to the heat-generating component; a fin unit which is provided remote from the heat receiving portion and has a plurality of heat-exchanging plates arranged at intervals, the fin unit having a first end part located at one end of a row of the heat-exchanging plates and a second end part located at other end of the row of the heat-exchanging plates; a heat-transferring component which has a metal pipe containing coolant and which transfers heat generated by the heat-generating component, from the heat receiving portion to the fin unit by using the coolant, the metal pipe coupling the heat receiving portion and the fin unit; and a fan which applies cooling air to the fin unit, wherein the fin unit includes a first bracket projecting from the first end part toward the fan and a second bracket projecting from the second end part toward the fan, and the fan is fixed to the first and second brackets so as to be held in a position with respect to the fin unit. 7. The cooling device according to claim 6, wherein the fan includes a fan case and an impeller provided in the fan case, the fan case having an outlet port for discharging cooling air and being removably held by the first and second brackets, with the outlet port opposed to the fin unit. 8. The cooling device according to claim 6, wherein the first bracket is formed at the heat-exchanging plate positioned at the first end part, and the second bracket is formed at the hear-exchanging plate positioned at the second end part. 9. An electronic apparatus comprising: a housing; a wiring board, which is provided in the housing; a heat-generating component which is mounted on the wiring board; and a cooling device which is provided in the housing to cool the heat-generating component and which includes (i) a heat receiving portion held on the wiring board and thermally connected to the hear-generating component, (ii) a heat radiating portion for radiating heat generated by the heat-generating component, at a position remote from the heat receiving portion, (iii) a heat-transferring component for transferring the heat generated by the heat-generating component, from the heat receiving portion to the heat radiating portion, and which connects the heat receiving portion and the heat radiating portion, and (iv) a fan for applying cooling air to the heat radiating portion, wherein the heat radiating portion includes first and second brackets projecting toward the fan, and the fan is fixed to the first and second brackets in the housing so as to be held in a position with respect to the heat radiation portion. 10. The electronic apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the heat receiving portion, the heat radiating portion and the heat-transferring component are assembled together, forming one module, and the module is secured to the wiring board, with the heat receiving portion held on the wiring board. 11. The electronic apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the fan comprises a fan case and an impeller provided in the fan case, the fan case having an outlet port for discharging cooling air and being held by the first and second brackets, with the outlet port opposed to the heat radiating portion, and the housing has an exhaust port which faces the heat radiating portion. 12. The electronic apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the heat radiating portion includes a plurality of heat-exchanging plates arranged at intervals, a first end part located at one end of a row of the heat-exchanging plates, and a second end part located at other end of row of the heat-exchanging plates, the first bracket being formed at the first end part of the heat radiating portion, the second bracket being formed at the second end part of the heat radiating portion.
