I have been think about adding a fan, especialy, since I have to ad a fan 
for the second drive in my floppy case. I do have Mark and Boisy's Fantastic 
(PLUG -not that they need it) 512K upgrade, and I have had my CoCo 3 up and 
running for 2 weeks straight (actually doing nothing, but displaying the 
callander on Multi-Vue) and although it does get warm, its not all that hot. 
But, I do agree, a fan would be good- but cutting a hole in my BRAND NEW 
CoCo 3 (again, Cloud 9) really hurts.
