Thanks AGAIN for all of your help and advice on my Cube fan install problems. My mistake was trying to tap into the 5V source for the fan (a Y connector off the DVD drive power cable), instead of the 12 with a resistor. What I REALLY should (and will) stick to is tapping into the 12v supply via the small connector on the DC/DC board intended for this very operation. I just am having a bitch of a time finding a connector that small... Upon visual inspection we can see one of the chips on the DC/DC board has a "pimple" on it, having fried, and hopefully, with replacement of the board, everything else will be fine. Any suggestions on where to get another DC/DC board, as well as that tiny little connector, is much appreciated. Joel Pelletier http://www.joelp.org The Cube lives - it's now just called the G4 iMac!
