I've had my A2000 for awhile now, and I have always been disappointed in the noise level of the fan. It didn't used to be a big deal, but now it is sitting out in a room that doesn't have a door that I can close. Is there a replacement fan that I can purchase from somewhere that doesn't generate as much noise yet is still adequate for the job? Who sells it? As for "how noisy can it be", the less noise the better.

I too had that problem and found a posting somewhere that explained how to remove the fan and insert rubber grommets to reduce the fan rattle. (if you take the fan out of the box you won't believe how quiet it is...) Anyway, I put it all back together and plugged a connector (on the motherboard) in wrong! Smoked the power supply... The point is, BE CAREFUL if you do it your self. If you are interested, email me and I will try to find the posting. You may want to talk to your local service center to do the job. > William LeFebvre > Computing Facilities Manager and Analyst > Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science > Northwestern University > <phil@eecs.nwu.edu> - alfredo jahn -------------------------------//----------------------------------------- Alfredo Jahn V // Internet: alfredo@ajahnv.lonestar.org 3208 Cole Ave., #1303 \\ // UUCP: {convex,uunet}!digi!ajahnv!alfredo Dallas, TX 75204 USA \X/ Voice: (214) 855-1316 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
