I have a friend who has both the System Saver IIGS and a Vulcan 100Meg
HD.  Well, the System Saver was blowing air up and out of the GS, while
the Vulcan fan directly below the System Saver fan was blowing air down
and _into_ the GS.  Nevertheless, the two fans blowing in opposite
was not only anti-productive, it made a harsh grinding noise to boot.
We tried flipping the Vulcan fan around (not a difficult task really,
it just involved removing the four phillips head screws holding in the fan
and flipping it around), but it still made the grinding noise, as well as
blowing air upward at 30 mph.  We solved the problem by just removing the
Vulcan fan (again, removing the four screws and nicely pulling the fan out
of it's socket, no soldering required).  He now has a nice quiet, and
cool, GS.
