I was watching an old episode of the Computer Chronicles today in which Charlie Oppenheimer (Mac product manager) points to the fan inside the SE and says, "this is required for any machine with an internal hard drive." Well, like many of us, I've replaced the internal hard drive in (in this case) my Color Classic with a SCSI2SD, so there's no hard drive that needs cooling. And that fan is so damn loud. Which got me wondering, do I need it?
Obviously I know the smart thing to do is to leave it in, or at most replace it with a quieter fan. But I wonder if anyone's done any actual research on temperature tolerance of post-Plus compact Macs? How would they do with the fan disconnected?
