				 Re: OT: Removing fan from 486\'s power supply? 
 I would discourage you from trying to remove the fan.  I'd suggest finding a sourse of "white sound" or "background noise".  What I mean is play a CD with music that counters what I am guessing is a high pitch whine.  something with a deaper bass might work.
 What ever you do:
 Backup your data.  If that power supply goes you may not be able to find a replacement.
