Two things to keep in mind when using PC fans: 1: keep them clean. Dust accumulation on the blades reduces airflow. A lot. A soft-bristle paintbrush inserted into the (moving) blades, or a can of compressed air work well for cleaning. 2: Check it now and then to make sure it is working. Cheap Asian PC fans are notorious for bearing failure. You're in luck if you have one that says "ball bearing" printed on the label, those last longer. Otherwise, they work fine. That's what I'm using ATM. -- Jim Shorney -->.<--Put complaints in this box jshorney (at) inebraska.com Ham Radio NU0C Lincoln, NE, USA EN10ps http://incolor.inetnebr.com/jshorney/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------
