Ahh fans, I have three on my 7600/G3-400, one on the power supply(normal)
one on the case right behind the hard drives, and one on the G3 card I have.
I haven't yet been able to find any for the drive bays but would be
interested if someone could email me a link to look at. I run 24 hours a day
and I get to 20 degrees C.
