I don't know how any kind of replacement fan for the SE can 'snap in', on
my machine the power wires from the fan are soldered directly to the
power supply board.  Unless the mean 'snap in' in the sense that you cut
the two wires and snap some kind of tap on the remaining leads, it would
sound kind of tricky.  I just had a potentiometer soldered into one of the
leads for a while, and it worked just fine.  Anyone else do the same?
It's a little cheaper than a $45 replacement fan.  PS: Thanks, Apple,
for screwing us old SE owners over with the fan and than charging us $95 to
get it fixed.  Ever new a newer SE model?  It's a lot quieter than the old
one.
