I had replied to the original author directly, but given the followup
comments, perhaps I should reply to the entire group.

We all know by now that the SE has a lousy fan:  it is very loud and
causes the screen to jitter.  There is, however, a very good fix: the
replacement fan available from ComputerWare (an all-Macintosh store in
California, 415-323-7557).  Their replacement fan is a muffin type.  It
pushes more air than the stock squirl-cage fan, is quiet, and doesn't
interfere with the screen.  I believe it sells for around $40.

I installed this replacement fan in my SE last fall and have been
extremely satisfied with the result.  The installation requires a minor
amount of soldering.  The installation can be reversed should you
require warranty work.

Given that the SE is almost a year old and Apple has done nothing to
correct its fan, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for them to offer a
fix.  Do yourself a favor--if you own an SE and don't mind soldering a
couple of wires, get this replacement fan.
