Has everyone forgotten about just replacing the original fan with the Radio
Shack fan, part number 273-243, for $14.95 ?  True, it doesn't have a thermal
switch, but then, I almost never take my Mac II out to the desert to use it.
Just because it's sold by a "real" company, doesn't mean the Nova Fan
Controller will work any better than the RS replacement.  I can't imagine
needing more air than the RS provides unless you have all 6 slots filled.
