Replacing the Fan in an Atari Mega STe

Blissfully quiet

Atari ST month continues! After receiving and setting up my new (very old) Atari Mega STe, one thing that stands out is how loud the power supply fan was. I really didn’t remember it being that loud from back in the day and maybe it wasn’t that loud, but the 30 year old fan is certainly loud now.

After doing a bit of internet research, it seems that this is a common complaint. And even better is that it is an easy thing to fix.
