I have heard that installation of the Apple fan upgrade in the SE makes the machine quieter, but does not handle the screen jitter problem. The SE fan upgrade is more expensive then the 3rd party fans which I've heard do handle the screen jitter problems. What is the difference in the fans/electronics that may be at the root of this? Any experience or opinions out there as to whether I'm better off with the Apple fan upgrade or the third party upgrade? Thanks, David Sturman MIT Media-Lab djs@media-lab.media.mit.edu

The new fan is a standard rotary vs the squirl cage. They also put in a new CRT yoke board which is part of the problem with jitter and it should fix it. -- Tony Jacobs * Center for Engineering Design * U of U * t-jacobs@ced.utah.edu

SE fan kits (Apple) I just had two SE's upgraded and they are great! The fan noise is not even noticeable and the screen jitter is gone. The kit has a fan and a new vertical video card (installs on the end of the CRT). I highly recommend getting this upgrade. Armand Whitehead BYU
