[HECnet] Fans for DS10/XP900

[Fred]

Hi ...

With a spat of warm weather approaching I think it's time to refresh some fans in my XP900 system - one of them (front left, closest to the faceplate) was very noisy last evening so I shut things down and broke out the canned air for a cleaning.   Now she's quiet for the moment.

Looking at the normal sources for made-for-Alpha parts, a fan kit runs $250!   Whoa.   That's about what I paid for the XP900 and a bit steep for a hobbyist... :(

Any specs where I could find out what type of fans they are and just purchase them from the local electronics wholesaler?   Size, pins, etc.

Thanks,

Fred

Lets call it for what it is - "legacy" is a term that people use in a
polite but derogatory manner to imply that the future direction they
prefer is not that which they view as the current direction.
