:)   Have you tried shutting off the fan by cutting the wires to it? Perhaps that

  I really hate to follow this thread, but...

    As to your Model 70, did you know that it was released about 2 hours
after the Tandy 5000MC?  Did you also know that the Tandy 5000MC is the 
only other OS/2 (read micro-channel) machine one the market?  
Did you also know that the Tandy 5000MC and the IBM PS/2 Model 70 are 
physically IDENTICAL inside?

    PC magazine did an article on it a while back.  The only differance
they found was that the Tandy was faster!!!  (Now how's your fan blowing?)

   Oops.  I made a mistake... There was one other differance... 

                   ... about $4000.00 ...

   The 5000MC was release about $4000 less.
