I've looked at that and thought it might be a great idea, but have not
been able to get around the issue of the air intake slots. They are on
the sides of the 425 cabinet. An external fan / blower would have to
feed air into them...it's awkward. You are correct...quite a few people
are going to need a solution to this problem.

Since there is or will eventually will be a small market for some kind
of replacement for aging Titan 425 blower motors, how about instead of
just an original replacement, some kind of better than original upgrade?
Since there are cables sticking out the back of the 425, it cannot be
set flush against a wall or cabinet back anyway. So an upgrade could
stick out the back of the cabinet a bit, and have little or no effect
on how and where you can set your 425 on the operating table. Suppose
we used a larger squirrel cage blower that could move the same amount of
air at a lower RPM, and the motor is outside the cabinet???
