A bit of punched board, a 4 channel timer and a scrap fan won't exactly
kill you, I was actually indicating it'd be a great high volume (high
noise!!) fan, maybe we could make it kick in on a thermostat, my dad can
do a circuit for that off the top of his head. He once made me a circuit
that allowed me to turn on a motor by dipping a thermistor probe into a
cup of coffee :). I think he'd be glad to turn his hand to a timer
circuit and a thermal switch for my fan, it'd probably just be simple
12VDC electronics and MAN would the fan shift some air ;). I'd make for
the best Apple server yet, a silent server with an TiBook style
emergency fan :).
