I know there have been several messages concerning SE's loud fan.
Well, I just got a replacement fan from a local Apple dealer
(Dartmouth College). It was $43, not $100 as some claimed. It
included $14 for fan, $14 for some kind of replacement for video
board, and labor. Surely it is a lot quieter than the old one:
I am satisfied, but I can occasionally see screen jitter,
though. By the way, it is NOT covered by Apple Care. Yet, I
would definitely recommend any people who use SEs in a quiet
environment (home, for example) since I don't have to turn the
stereo on in order to cover up the noise from the fan. Also, if
it is $43 outside the college environment (I forgot to ask
whether it is discount rate for the college, but I don't think
we have 40% discount for hardware repair), it is actually
cheaper than the 3rd party fans for SE that others have
mentioned.
