ah! the banal!


so I'm planning my repair here, and thinking  why not _two_ fans stacked?

Simply using longer screws, I can put one fan where it belongs, and one fan
above the plastic baffle. I'll have to hack the connector though.

Pros:
Redundant
Increased Air Flow
Cooler Processor

Cons?:
Lower fan overspins and blows its bearings prematurely?
Upper fan interferes with airflow to/from P/S?
Two fans draw too much power?

thoughts?
