[comp.sys.mac] Suggestions for Mac Fans

cl1x#@andrew.cmu.edu.UUCP (03/15/87)

Soon, I should hope to have my own psudo-Mac+ w/ 1 meg RAM and a drive/ROM
upgrade.  Since this will undoubtedly generate A LOT of heat, I am shopping
for a mac fan.  I've heard about piezo-electric fans, but have little or no
idea on how they work in principle and how well they work in practice.
Anyway, please send all suggestions and horror stories (hopefully very few)
to me and I shall post the results.  Please include specifications i.e. how
much air the fans move, special features like surge suppressants, etc. when
sending suggestions.  Thanks.

Both of the Mac's here at Plaidhenge have Kensington fans.  About $75, and
is not only a fan, but a surge suppressor and it moves the power switch to
the front of the machine.  They are pretty quiet, are well crafted, meld in
with the Mac look fine, and definitely lower the internal temperature of
these machines. Highly recommended.

I have been using the MaxChill Piezo-Electric Fan by MacMemory since before
XMAS, and I recommend it (and similar Piezo fans) to anyone. It colling was
most needed during our Australian Summer , and it kep the Mac remarkably
cool.

The best money I've spent since I bought Lightspeed C!
