[geeks] Sun Java WS W2100z Fan Replacement (and other animals)

[Mark]

I just got my paws on a Java Workstation W2100z from a fellow listee  
(cheers Gaz! :) ) and the main system fan in the back is making that  
nasty 'my bearings are crapped out' noise. It's odd because it's as  
clean as a whistle. Anyhow I punched the part number (a DELTA  
Electronics AFB1212SHE) into Google and found it's the same one Apple  
had a ton of problems with the bearings collapsing in on the MDD G4s,  
to the extent they issued free Replacement kits for a while.

I'd like to replace it with something comparable, that's able ,to  
handle the variable speed, and that's quiet-ish (i.e. sensible for  
continued use sat up on a desk, but it doesn't have to be silent).

Also if anyone has any gems of info for grappling with a HP 9000 B2000  
Vizualize workstation they'd also be much appreciated :)
