[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Mac IIfx power supply?

Can anyone tell me if a Mac IIfx power supply is significantly quieter than the
one on the Mac II.  From various reviews it seems that it is but since I have
never seen a IIfx I don't know exactly how much quieter it would be.  

Also can someone point me to a place where I can possibly buy one.  Here at
Princeton they won't sell us components by themselves.

Yes the IIfx power supply is much quieter than the II power supply.
This is because the IIfx uses a variable speed fan.

As for getting another power supply, good luck. You can't usually purchase
components without trading another one in. One other thing you might try
is having your current II power supply replaced. I had mine done
recently and received a much quieter fan in return. My power supply had
failed.
