Dante, I put a fan in a 7500 in the very location you are talking about. You're right. The 7500 did not come, stock, with a fan but the mounting holes, etc... are there - plain as day.
I mounted the fan in the drive compartment but set it to blowing outward onto the processor card heat-sink. The power supply fan, then, pulls the air through the main compartment and out through the power supply. The fan is connected to the same cables as the HDs. I did this because I use the machine as a server. I put two 10,000RPM drives in it and a 350MHz processor. I was, also, not concerned about the extra noise because it lives in my basement with other noise-making equipment.

It has an extra fan kicking around in the drive bay, which appears to theoretically be blowing on the processor--ie. it is there, but was not connected to a power source. The repair manual for this machine does not show a fan in this location--though the case is clearly designed for one. Has anyone ever seen a fan in this location, and if so, does it blow or suck on the processor? Since it is in there, I guess I might as well wire it up and use it--just need to know which way it should be blowing air. Thanks. -- Regards, Dante McLean Dante McLean Photography [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] --> NeXTMail welcome at this address!
