Summary: Moving the video card does reduce the fan noise somewhat

I mentioned a few days ago that I had been told that moving the video
card on a Mac II from slot #1 (next to the power supply) to slot #6
(as far away from the power supply as possible) could reduce the noise
of the Mac II's fan, by un-obstructing the fan's air passage and
reducing turbulence.  Well, I tried it, and it does seem to have made
a difference;  the amount of noise that escapes through the vents in
the top of the Mac II's case has been reduced somewhat.  It's not a
stunning decrease, but it is noticable.
