It's not THAT bad! Mine just makes a sort of "whoosh-ing" noise. Personally I agree with Craig, the fan is much too loud. Seems to me that the fan is designed with a fully loaded Mac II in mind. Those are pretty rare these days. I would have prefered a temperature controlled fan instead. With only a card or two, the fan could be MUCH quieter most of the time. Seems like the desire to keep a fully loaded MacII cool governed the decision and ALL MacII users have to suffer because of this. David Gelphman daveg%slacvm.bitnet@forsythe.stanford.edu
