I've got a SB1000 here that I'm kitting out at the moment, but it's missing
the two internal fans. I'm going to rig up something using some salvaged
fans from an Ultra 2 system board assembly which is defective (but the fans
are ok), though it'd be nice to get the proper fan assemblies since it looks
like they have some sort of slide-in holder that clips into place.

Anyway having a machine with firewire and USB native but with plenty of
expansion options is a good upgrade from this Ultra 60 I'm running at
present.

Craig.
