Don't bother. The Apple fan is way too loud and it sits inside the case
where it (a) blocks you from having long cards in slots 1 through 3, and
(b) blocks half of the air intake to the System Saver's fan.

I have my GS on the floor, with the bottom vents totally blocked -- three of
back panels are open, and they let plenty of air in, which flows between the
cards (the only hot one, really, is the RAMfast; the Zip never gets past
warm and the whole card draws 200 mA at 8 mhz, supposedly) and up into
the system saver.

The air coming out of the system saver is warm if the room is not being
ventilated, and cool if we have a draught going between the windows or the
door.
