I could not resist the temptation any longer, and went to Radio Shack and bought the replacement fan for my Mac II (cat no. 273-243A, $14.95). I read the instruction, took the appropriate precautions, and proceed to the fanectomy on instinct (not actually following the step by step procedure). It took nearly an hour (I took my time with a snack in mid-processing). If I have to do it again it would not take me more than 20 minutes. The results, as described. I was surprised to hear for the very first time the noise produced from my internal hard disk (PL90i-Turbo). I thought this was a quiet hard disk, but now I am concerned on how to quiet this one too (it is noisier than the new fan). The noise reduction has been very noticeable (I use the Mac in a very quiet environment - Home). And, as described, the fan only produce a calm breese type of noise. It works!
