[CUBE] Help. Dying Cube?

[J. Torrey]

Good idea.  I recall someone mentioning once something about a Panaflex 
(sp?) fan (same one used in Powerlogix upgrade kits, perhaps).  This 
seemed like a really good fan from what I recall.  Does anyone have any 
more information on this (what fan is this, where to get it)?

Also, a more general question...  How does the fan get power?  Are 
there spare power terminal(s) on the Cube's motherboard?
