Hi all, I have a build-your-own hardware questions.
Some time ago, we picked up an external Apple CD-ROM drive. We pulled the CD drive to put in the c600, so we would have an Apple ROM/bootable CD drive. Zero regrets on that change! I recently picked up a used/bare SCSI 4/4/16 CD-RW drive. I would like to put it in the empty external CD drive case. The empty case has no fan. Does anyone know if I need to add a fan? There is a reasonable amount of space inside the case, between the CD enclosure and the back of the case, where the cables connect. Or, would adding some air circulation vents (holes) be sufficient. Obviously a CD-ROM drive does not get that hot, as no fan was necessary for the original read only drive. But, our LaCie drive has a fan in it that sounds like a small plane engine. So, it obviously does need a fan. It would be really handy to have a CD-RW drive hooked up to both of our computers, so I am hoping some of the more hardware oriented readers can offer some advice.
