   Personally I agree with Craig, the fan is much too loud. Seems to me
that the fan is designed with a fully loaded Mac II in mind. Those are pretty
rare these days. I would have prefered a temperature controlled fan instead.
With only a card or two, the fan could be MUCH quieter most of the time. Seems
like the desire to keep a fully loaded MacII cool governed the decision and
ALL MacII users have to suffer because of this.
