Sounds good. I really really don't want to mark this Plus, it's in near mint condition and original as far as Stuart told me :) The method sounds good, I have a pair of 486 heat-sink fans that fit nicely in the two vent panels in the top-back corners. Which cap. did you pull the 12v off? -- Mark Benson AIM - SilValleyPirate Visit FlatPackMacs online: <http://fpm.gotdns.com> Visit my Homepage: <http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson> "Never send a human to do a machine's job." -The Matrix -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
