[David Carmichael <dec2955@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have read a number of suggestion on how to cool my A/V system.

The best one that I like.. is using a older AT/ATX 100wat power supply to
power a number of muffin fans and using some sort of rheostat to lower the
voltage and then change the fans speed / noise level.
