Does anybody out there have experience with the SE Silencer from Mobius? It's a replacement fan for the Mac SE that is supposed to cut way down on the annoying SE hum. I have two questions: (1) does it work? (does it really cut down or out the hum?) (2) Is it easy to install? (They claim it "snaps-in." Charles Moore

I too had the good old SE "Aircraft Carrier" fan from hell, but did install
the Mobius fan when it became available. 1) Yes it did work, cutting down
noise by my estimate 60%. 2) The soldering was a breeze (no pun intended),
but I recommend a SMALL pair of needle nose pliers to take the holddown
nuts of if you don't have a 3/16" box wrench available. I am a very happy
customer, I no longer get the fan shimmy that I used to get and the machine
is much quiter.

And some more, I put one in a few weeks ago (FINALLY! sez my aggrieved
wife). It works, it's easy to put in. Funny thing, I have a hearing loss,
mostly at higher frequencies. The new fan is louder to me, but to everyone
else it is quieter. I hear the lower frequency that it hums at better than
the high pitched whine of the original...oh well, my wife is happy...
