I learned about fans many yea^H^H^H decades ago when I had a sun external scsi disk box.

One day at Fry's Electronics I found they sold external scsi cases. So I bought a case and a cheaper bare scsi drive and hooked it to my sun.

The fan was quieter too!

and after a few months, the fan started getting louder. and louder. and then one day when the drive seemed to stop responding, I found it had failed.

sun fans were annoyingly loud, but they had one interesting property: THEY ALWAYS SPUN.
