[geeks] magnetic bearing fans, and running them flat

[Charles Shannon Hendrix]

Does anyone know if it is OK to run cooling fans with magnetic bearings
flat?

Like this one:

...or just search for "Enermax Marathon 120mm"

I want to replace one in a PC power supply that is noisy, and it needs
to be one whose bearings are OK laying flat.
