I recently obtained a Mac Plus (Yay!). It's beautiful. It came with a Kensignton Macsaver surgesupressor with a built in fan. it fits in nicely at the top of the Mac Plus and the fan works to cool it. But is it necessary to run a fan like this? Won't the convection cooling of the Mac Plus work as designed by Apple? What attracted me to the Mac Plus is that it is quiet. (BTW: I am working on getting the Mac Plus to boot and run entirely from 100MB Zip drives.) This fan sounds like a vacuum cleaner. What are people's thoughts on using an external fans with a Mac Plus. I don't want to shorten its life, but I want it quiet too.
