Another cooling idea for Omnis. I use a 12 inch long threaded rod, No. 8 or 10 with a 3 inch computer fan sandwiched between two nuts at one end of the rod. then three inches from the fan put a nut and a one inch washer, padded with rubber. then use heat shrink on rod the width of heat sink so rod don't scratch sink. Then another padded washer and a wing nut to sandwich heat sink between two padded washers. Put in top slot of the heat sink with point of fan down and use another one in series on P S to slow them down. Very quiet and the sink just barely gets warm. Ed K7UC
