Kensington made the System Saver Mac, a small fan unit that sat on top of the 
128K/512K/Ke/Plus.  I'm not sure how popular they were originally, but I had a 
hard time trying to find one at a price point I could stand in 2009.  

They had a version for the SE, too, which, IIRC, was simply a module to plug 
peripherals into, as the SE had a fan incorporated into the design (Jobs had 
left Apple by then).

If Macally made a cooling device for the Plus, I couldn't tell you what it was.

Anyway, the MacChimney was made by someone named Tom Swain and sold for $18:

Try as I might, I couldn't find more than a passing reference to it online; 
I've always been curious as to how many units he sold. ¬_¬


Best,

James Fraser
