How can I install an extra fan in my Amiga 2000 to cool my hard disk. I have one extra drive power connector, could I somehow connect it to that? Thank you in advance. Gavin Stark (gest_ltd@uhura.cc.rochester.edu)

You shouldn't need an extra fan, however I thought that folks might like
to know that my regular A2000 fan burned out around XMas time, and I was able
to use a Radio Shack 3-1/2" brushless muffin fan (sorry, don't have the part
number) to replace the unit. I had to file away a little of the plastic to
fit around one of the coils on the power supply board, but the unit is almost
an exact replacement and works fine.

I was told by one of our user group members that the Radio Shack fan only puts out HALF the CFM air flow of the stock fan!! You may risk overheating your Amiga/Power Supply !!! Check the ratings for air flow on these fans before you buy them.
