Sorry for OT post, but we all know the brightest and best hang out here.... DIY angle is I'm doing it myself and it may involve mods....
Scenario is this: I have a Sun Ultra5 which is a great little workstation, runs my dev Domino servers where all the minimum specs say it shoudl fail, and it confuses the kids when they come round and see something that doesn't run windows... (next project is Domino on an XBox - that'll confuse 'em).
The downside to it is a noisy fan situated right on the front of the case, you can hear it throughout the top of the house at night. So, thought I'd replace it with an ultra quiet fan.... thought it looked like a standard 8cm case fan.
Unfortunately, not a standard PC connector, and the fan has only two wires whereas the normal PC fans appear to have 3.
Anyone any ideas what the 3rd wire is for, and whether one can be discarded if I replace the connector with the smaller pattern connector that the Sun uses? If, indeed I can find such a connector.
Any pointers most welcomed...
cheers Richard
