    9600: split screen on Tiger installation…

    HI, I noticed in your pic of the 9600 that you've got a fan positioned near the PCI slots. On my 9600 there isn't a fan attached like this - but there is one in the side-panel that comes off... I'm guessing the rev'd the design at some point. Interesting. James.
