    The fan on my NF-7 northbridge is failing, it makes a god-awful sound at startup but then settles down. Takes about 1 minute to get quiet. What should I replace this with? Do I need a fan? Should just get a Zalman passive heatsink? Any and all ideas thx everyone.

    shuttle external power supply

    does anyone know if there is a shuttle external PSU for the SN41G2?? This seems to me to be the LARGEST source of all the noise in my box. I know the Zen has one but I wonder if they sell some sort of kit to mod the SN41G2?
