Well, on first listening to my upgraded SE, it didn't seem all that
much quieter. It was at least 25% quieter, but I'm not so sure
it was 50% as I said it would be in my earlier posting. So, I
decided to listen to it for a few days before posting.
Now, I'm sitting in front of the company owned, non-upgraded SE
at work after a whole weekend in front of my personal upgraded SE
at home. I can say for certain that I'm glad I upgraded. Though
the new fan isn't a lot quieter, it is a much more pleasant tone
more of a hum than the SE's old buzz.
Two clarifications. First, though the upgrade does void the warranty
on macs less than 90 days old, the real problem comes when you need
an analog board swap. You'll have to put the old fan back on before
Apple will let you trade in your dead A-board for a new one. Second,
I probably shouldn't have posted when I did, ComputerWare wasn't ready
with sufficient stock for the flood of calls (ah, the power of the net)
they said that they should have all they need sometime this week 7/20+.
