Sorry I took so long, but I was kinda expecting a larger turnout.
Nevertheless, all my thanks to the people who replied.
The Kensington System Saver Mac "won" hands down. People who have them have
no complaints.
Another that were recommended was Mac'N Fronst ("...the quietest one I could
find...seems to have a better surge supressor than most").
One not recommended was MaxChill because it cools only the right side of the
Mac. The writer reverted to his original routine: "Plug in an external fan
and point it at the top of the Mac (I usually keep it on low :) "
Appearently, I missed the discussion on other types of fans. Piezos were
said to be less efficient at moving air, which, I guess, is kinda important.
Right?
Anyway, I settled down on a System Saver from MacConnection who proceeded to
ship it rather quickly. Now, if only my 512 ==> 1mb Dove upgrade (ordered
from Programs Plus) can get here before I die....
Personally, though, I would like to see a Mac magazine doing a more
quantitative comparison of Macintosh fans (hint. hint.).
