[SunHELP] Failed Ultra 1 fans

I have had several of these fans go bad on Ultra 1's.  Sun will replace the
entire motherboard.  The new CPU will have a heat sink instead of a fan.

I suppose you could replace the fan if you could find one, but I like the
idea of the heatsink better... no moving parts.
