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
