Are the fans on these things supposed to be LOUD or did I get one with a
bad fan?

The point about the 4 years, is that it is still going strong.

When the fans go up they are extremely loud.
Much louder than one would expect for a fan of it's size.
Many people think they have bad hard drive or something.

I forgot to say,

Someone else decided to give my method a try:

http://www.unixadmintalk.com/f57/re-...o-board-92214/

then he wrote it up, with photos etc. Unfortunately his writeup is in
French, but it should be obvious, what I did from his photos.

Funny enough, I got a Blade 2000 yesterday to replace my Ultra 80. I
moved the SunPCi card into the Blade 2000 about 2 hours ago, so it is
not been in there long. But so far it is still alive!

Obviously it is a bit risky, but what is a Celeron CPU cost now? It sure
make the SunPCi card silent.
