Hello Paul, I had to put additional fans in both of my computers before I was happy. I used small 12v muffin fans salvaged from old power supplies and simply propped them up or taped them into position inside the case with the airstream directed at the disk drives. Before I did this, the all three of my Micropolis drives were hot enough to fry eggs on – now they are all at room temperature. I wired the fans into the 12v pins on the drive power supply pigtails. I wouldn't waste money or slots on a fan board. You really need the air blowing directly onto the drives. My pentium case has an extra fan built in that circulates air near the processor chip – I added a baffle that directed the air directly onto the chip. I also want to put in a fan directed towards the PAR board, as it gets HOT. JKJ
