I just installed a small brushless 12vDC fan in my 1040ST. It seems to work fine and it only draws .16a (if I remember correctly). Will this cause me any problems with the power supply? I checked it with a voltmeter and at startup there was not any noticeable dip in the voltage. My machine seems to be MUCH cooler now. It appeared to be running hotter as it got older. Has anyone else done this? The only drawback so far seems to be this whir of the fan. I may add a small pot to lower the speed (and noise) of the fan. It is still much quieter than the typical IBM PC fan even at full speed. ------------------------------+--------------------------- Chris Mauritz |Columbia U, where the women cmm1@cunixa.cc.columbia.edu |are few and the sheep are (c)All rights reserved. |nervous. :-) ------------------------------+---------------------------
