Hm, really? I don't think the motor is running; the P/S makes absolutely no sound at all. Still going strong. Do mean that the motor will burn out because it isn't running, but should be? In this case, can I replace the (hard-wired) fan with some component from Radio Shack (a resistor??) which fools the circuit into thinking that it's a fan? What sort of component would I need? The fan is 12V, 0.15A. > well you could always buy Apple's powerpc hardware, Steve Jobs > apparently loathes fan noise and macs are rather quiet. most of them > run debian quite nicely too ;-) > > (the negative side to this is the rather high prices) There it is.. -chris
