I've had one of those Radio Shack 110v. fans installed inside my //e for 
years.   I siliconed it to the removeable cover on the front right side 
so it doesn't interfere with the boards in slots 5,6,7.   I used a line 
plug and jack and soldered it into the power supply by drilling a small 
hole in the power supply case.   I preferred to use the 110v. rather than 
the 12v. fan, because it takes the line voltage before it goes thru the 
electronics of the power supply.   My //e is fully loaded, so I don't 
want to steal any juice from the 12v. circuitry.    The miniature plug 
and jack make the cover completely removeable.
