hello wacky - its been a while.
anyway from that you mean just pull it out and stick another one in?

seems simple enough - any provisions or traps i need be aware off?
I bought a Silenx 60mm fan to replace the old Elina fan. You have to cut off the 3rd wire and then solder the other two, either to the existing black/yellow wires, or directly into the analog board - either way is fine. I haven't actually done the hack yet, the fan has been mounted in the bracket for a month or two but I still haven't soldered it. I know it will work because fellow member JDW did the same thing and it worked fine with his SE/30. As others have stated, the extra heat from the enclosed PSU and hard drive mean that a fan is really necessary in an SE.
