Hi, Hal.
I think the SE/30's processor generates enough heat to make it neccessary to
have a fan.
In this instance the CPU is not the factor (you can run an LCII fan-less and they use the same CPU), it is the CRT tube and analogue board. They both generate a large amount of heat because of the high voltages and inherently inefficient design of any CRT system. The CPU does get hot but not so much as, on it's own, to be the problem. I have a 50MHz Daystar Powercache in my SE/30 and it *does* get **very** hot.
It is well known that leaving early fan-less Macs, like the Plus, on for extended periods has lead to them over heating and either failing, or more alarmingly catching fire!
In short, I wouldn't recommend it. You would be better off finding a modern silent fan for it.
