Dr. J!!! my man... ...hope all is going well for you and the staff there with the shipments but I am reaching out to you for an issue with my power supply. I have at this time one of the FutureBit power supplies powering my Node/Miner and well it had been doing just great since I got the unit back in July/August of last year....not a single hiccup thankfully...but a couple of days ago I had to rearrange where I had the miner and power supply devices physically located and was also installing a UPS/Surge protector. So of course I went thru the process of powering down the miner and then powering down the Node for well I tend to use canned air to blow both the miner and the power supply out of dust. It was at that moment that I noticed the Lil fan on the inside of the power supply unit was not spinning. It alarmed me of course that the power supply unit had not failed or simply burned out from overheating for I do not know how long indeed the unit had been working without a freely spinning fan. Turns out that 1 or 2 the Lil blades are getting caught up in the circular plastic housing part of the fan and therefore had not been letting the fan spin freely. Well I was able to fix it temporarily and the fan, for now, is spinning freely thereby the power unit not getting possibly overheated but indeed I have to check on it constantly...Question...the Lil component fan in the power unit...what are its specs and is there a vendor whom I can purchase a replacement for it so that way I can order one and simply swap it out with the one in the power unit right now that though for the moment it is working I do not completely trust to remain as such. Well, that is my story...sighs...lol...any info would be appreciated...and oh by the way...I am chomping at the bit even worse these days awaiting news of the shipment to come...LOL...ok to you and gang there keep up the good work... ....Tempestblack
