It's absolutely great to be rid of the noise! Now I can hear my *quiet* Jasmine. But I'm used to that at work and I like to know what my computer is doing. I do however, look back and wonder if I wasn't too hasty. I'm not concerned that it's only 87% of the original airflow since I don't expect to fill the slots. But, has anyone compared the MTBF? The $14.95 price tag worries me. Does Apple use the Panaflo because it really needs 31CFM or is it a more reliable motor? Does the Mac automatically shut off if the fan dies or if the chassis overheats?
