Get one for cheap (I wouldn't pay more than $2.00)

Find a PC at a thrift store, and give them $5.00.  You should
get a fan, the proper connector (from a 3.5 drive power
cable), and a bigger external power supply for your GS
as well.  If you use a PC supply instead of the internal
apple II supply, your IIgs will be much cooler inside

You realize that mounting a fan inside the GS is worthless it doesnt pust the air through the right channels..
Well, it did make a big differenceafter I first installed my PC Transporter card back in the day. AT THE TIME, I only had the bundled memery expansion card installed in it, and the computer started to crash, lock up, or have other mysterious failures after the computer had been on for a while, all of the mysterious crashes and other problems mysteriously vanished when I installed the fan.

If the fan is worthless, why did it fix the overheating problems?

Also, please remember that this was about 15 years ago (around 1990, or '91, I forget), so if my discription is inaccurate, make allowances. I just remember that I started to have problems after installing the PCT, that vanished when I installed the fan.
