Installing a fan on my 1040ST was a sinch. First, I took the sucker apart. (Warranty??? What warranty??? Oh yeah, do this 91 days after you buy the machine.) There is a beautiful place to mount the fan between the power supply and the disk drive right on top of the RF shielding. I just cut a hole there about 2"x2" and mounted the fan with 4 screws. Since it was a 12V DC fan, I just connected one wire to the +12V spot on the power supply and the other to the negative spot. These are labeled on the power supply so you should have no trouble finding them. Then I put the thing back together. It fits perfectly. Just go to your local Radio Shack and buy the fan. I think they have 2 models that will fit in this small space. I can't remember the part number. It is about 3"x3"x1.5". It is really quiet too if you put a small resistor inline or a potentiometer to slow the fan down a bit. Even at full speed, however, the bugger is relatively quiet compared to a pee cee fan. Bonne chance! Chris Mauritz cmm1@cunixa.cc.columbia.edu
