Jeff, Here is a clipped message from Dallas about the 7 volt fan. Dallas may be on assignment right now, haven't seen anything from him recently.

Make sure to unplug >it first! <SNIP> BTW, someone mentioned using a resistor to reduce the 12V fan power to about 7V. Another & perhaps more elegant way to do this is to connect it between the +5V & +12V wires of a drive power connector. Connect the fan's red wire to the yellow wire & the fans black wire to the connector's red one and the fan will run on 12 - 5 = 7V. The down side is you can't adjust the resistance for faster fan speed if you need a bit more air flow than 7V provides. -Dallas -- -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
