Yes I searched Sun's site top-to-bottom and found no part number for a fan
associated with a Qube 3.

I ended up at the local computer store to get one. I bought a CPU fan and
threw the heatsink away and mounted the fan in the blowhole. It works great,
and doesn't appear to be any louder than the original fan.

For those of you interested in case you have a failure the fan manufacturer
is StarTech (http://www.startech.com) and the model number is "FAN370".
According to their website the MSRP is $12.99 but I only paid $10. Now I'm a
happy camper for saving a couple of bucks and for keeping my server cool.

Hopefully this info will keep someone else from having to search in event
they have a failure.

Chris
