Level42:
One more thing about fans before I rest about it:
Obviously, when running on 50 Hz (f.i. Europe) these fans push around less air then running at 60 Hz like in the US.
Just something to keep in mind. I'm sure Atari thought about that when they designed the cab........... ::)
This also may explain that they run somewhat quieter over here....
RayB:
Ironically, it's a ball bearing going bad (ie: mishapen, scratched, rusted, etc) that causes a hell of a lot of noise in a fan. So I guess they are only quiet until a bearing gets damaged.
Neverending Project:
Thanks for all the fan info.
And here I was thinking I could simply run out to Radio Shack or Fry's and get a replacement. I am of the "buy inexpensive and replace if necessary" camp for something as mundane as a fan. I do know it needs to be properly rated to do its job, but as long as it gets the job done I can't see how it will effect the gameplay in any other way.
Level42:
Hey I got carried away a bit ;)
And some spare time at work...... :D
As long as the CFM is the same or higher, you should be fine.

Well that's the issue... if the fan fails it increases the likelihood the game does. So it's a tradeoff. This isn't a cut and dry "the fan is cheap just swap in another" item.
