Someone sent me a request for more info on the SE Silencer fan I mentioned
in a previous posting, but my return mail bounced.  So I thought my comments
were worth posting.  I paid $40 for the fan at MacWorld Expo from Morn
Accessories for Computers, normally located in Berkeley.  I installed it on
my own.  It came with three crimp-on connectors for the power leads.  Two
are required for the power leads and I guess the last is spare.  The
SE pc board has six holes in the fan mounting area, the outer 4 being used
for the squirrel cage fan.  The SE Silencer used the inner two and came with
two rubber grommets to reduce the amount of vibration sent to the board from
the fan.  The crimp style connectors went in easily and with one spare, you
can goof once.  Cutting the wires to the old fan made me a little nervious
since there wasn't a lot of wire left, but even with my ham handed fingers,
I was able to insert the wires and crimp with some needle nose pliars.
There is still some fan noise, nowhere near stock, and what remains could
possible be reduced by experimenting with the tension on the fan mounting
screws.  But I am very happy with the present level and all screen jitter is
gone.
