Someone (sorry, I do not have the name handy) mentioned a $10 gismo containing two small fans that replaces the drive's normal plastic faceplate. What I did save from the thread is the following URL and part number. Wetex (http://www.wetex.com). The part number is FAN-HDD-CK2. I am not sure whether this will interfere or even work with a hot swap chassis, but then again I not sure that you intend to use one. -- Regards, Norman C. Rice, Jr. > - Jordan > > > * Probably yes.
