You know, that's an interesting thought.  I hadn't been thinking along 
those lines, since the cpu and chipset fans are both two wire (so, I 
think, no rotation sensor).  The chipset fan died, won't start at all. 
 I'll try throwing a spare on that and see if it helps.  I'll need to 
put it on anyway, after all!

Thanks,
Nels
