I agree.  I did it about four or five months ago and it made the
Mac II very quiet.  Until last month.  When the fan started
sounding just like the old one.  It was almost like it hadn't
been working (the new one was so quiet).  I've tried blowing air
around; it does get very dusty in there.  It seems like the
bearings are gone.  I'll probably replace the fan again assuming
I got a bum fan from the shack.  Oh well.  Anyone else have that
problem?
