I would like to replace the noisy fan in my MacIIx with
a fan that is much quieter. I understand that directions
on how to do this are available. If anyone has these online,
please email them to me.
I have been told that one replacement fan is Radio Shack part
number 273-243a. However I also understand that this fan is
not quite as powerful as the original part. Since I have a
number of cards in my mac, I would like to find a replacement
fan that is both quieter and at least equal in cooling ability.
I have seen parts catalogs that list thousands of fans and
rate them as to form factor, noise level, power consumption,
cfm rating, etc. I would like a recommendation for a replacement
fan that does the job. Failing that I would like the manufacturer
and part number of the original part and I will find a catalog and
replacement fan. I will summarize my results to the net.
thanks in advance, (from my ears!)

PS: To anyone at Apple who is "listening", :-> please make your
machines quiet, it is really a drag and detracts a lot from the
usefulness of the machine. Saving $5.00 on the fan is poor
economics vs. some real "user-friendliness". I should not
have to be re-engineering this box so I can listen to the
radio and work on it at the same time!
