After I put in the Dynamat on the PC and the second or third cheap and quiet Chinese made cooling fan puked; I dug out a 120VAC box fan from a Sperry-Univac mini computer and put it on the PC. Solved the cooling and noise issues. The box fan is over 20-years old, runs like a champ and is rebuildable, which I have done every few years. I managed to snag 2 or 3 of these fans before the computer was scrapped, and I wish I had more. Back in 1979, a mini computer consisted of a cabinet about the size of 3 refrigerators placed side by side.
