I think it is the best solution I've seen yet--it is virtually noiseless. There is a *minor* hum, but barely noticeable. My experience agrees with their claim: my 2Meg Mac is cooler on top than my old 512K. Levco sells the MacBreeze; I think the price is $35 or so. Call (619) 457-2011 to find out for sure or order one. It installs on the connections to the power supply; there are about 3 wires to connect. Very easy... -Chris Disclaimer: I think I have disclaimed most everything already.
