Does anyone have a good source for a quiet/silent CPU fan for use in a 164LX? The fan in mine appears to be a simple 68mm x 68mm square fan that screws onto the heatsink.
I considered using a normal 80mm fan and one of those funnel-shaped fan reducers to 68 (60?)mm. The flow with the stock fan is only 17 cfm if I recall correctly, so a nice quiet 20-25 cfm 80mm fan should work quite nicely. But instead I moved the LX to the basement :-)
See http://www.modsynergy.com/Review%2012.htm for an idea of what I'm talking about (not that I'd use that adaptor; something more funnel shaped like this: http://www.xpcgear.com/fanadaptor.html , if found in the right size, would IMO work better.
