Actually, you can eliminate the fan completely if you're willing to
run under a certain load (motherboard power only) and a conditioned
environment (inside). I'll have to bring in a doctored -silent-
power supply. I figure it will have a chicken wire cage with the RF
ground drain soldered and larger cooling fins. NO FAN!
Any HAM folks object to FCC issues? I think a running motherboard,
cards, and memory wouldn't take more than forty watts. That's only
5VDC@8A or 12VDC@3.33A. I'm going to try it. I hope I don't char my
fingernails and eyebrows.
