Thank you for the tips, i will see if i can open it up in someway, the fan
is kinda like a laptop blower style, but a bigger version of it :) I think
i will need to buy new bearings for it when i have read on google about the
fan.
You never know until you try.
Anyway, the Alphaserver 4100 has four midsize muffin fans and I found them
trivial to take apart and trivial to replace the bearings which were a
standard off the shelf part. It was easier to fix the fan than it was to
replace them since DEC had a custom fan with a speed sensor built in that
proved impossible for me to find.
It changes from model to model and generation to generation.
