RE: VAXstation 4000/VLC - when I tried to do development on the box or

I will agree with being slow :-)   I find that it's not too bad though.
Unfortunately I don't have the space to get the 4000/90 up and running.
I too had noisy fans, but after a healthy dose of contact cleaner and
oil they are almost silent.   Maybe they just need a good clean?

I wonder if that's what mine needs.   I'm trying to remember if the PS was totally dead, or if it was howling to the point I couldn't run it in the dining room (actually that wouldn't be a problem now that it lives in the garage).

I've been wondering if the fans are replaceable.
