Gee I'm glad I didn't see that message two years ago when I put
the Mach 3.5 accelerator (from Call-A.P.P.L.E) into my //e which
has a Grappler+, a Super-Serial, Duo-Disk drive controller, and
RAMFactor, in it as well.  It might have disuaded me from
putting in the accelerator, which has been a very nice addition.

Maybe accelerators which use the 65C02C (the CMOS chip), which
draws a lot less power than the 6502C put less of a load on the
power supply?  The most recent Transwarp cards do use the 65C02C.

Anyway, my //e is 4 years old, does have a system saver fan, and
will probably need to see the Apple doctor soon just because it is
getting old.  Otherwise, the Mach 3.5 card hasn't seemed to cause
trouble.
