My Levco MonsterMac comes with their 'MacBreeze' piezo-electric 'flapper'
fan.  I think it is the best solution I've seen yet--it is virtually 
noiseless.  There is a *minor* hum, but barely noticeable.  My experience
agrees with their claim: my 2Meg Mac is cooler on top than my old 512K.

Levco sells the MacBreeze; I think the price is $35 or so.  Call (619) 457-2011
to find out for sure or order one.  It installs on the connections to the power
supply; there are about 3 wires to connect.  Very easy...
