Replaced the PSU fan in my Noah the other day. CWA use a standard PC PSU which connects to their board via the 20pin connector.
Here's what i did, it's quick and dirty because i didnt want to play around with the PSU too much in fear of electrocution!! (They still hold a charge even when unplugged). The proper way would be to solder the new fan properly to the PSU's pcb.
1. cut wires, remove old fan
2. join the wires to the new fan, tin the tips of wires, and solder
3. use heatshrink to cover the bare wires
I ended up using a silentX fan which is rated at something like 14db. My Noah is almost silent now which is pretty cool.
