Reader Chris Waldrip has an interesting idea for improving on the BookEndz docking station. Sounds like a project for someone! -PK.

Has anyone tried hacking a small fan into your TiBook BookEndz? I’ve done some investigating, and it looks like a 30mm x 30mm x 10mm laptop fan would fit perfectly in the air channel in the BookEndz. But I’m not that knowledgeable about power consuption and such.

My first thought is to tap the fan into the powersupply, or maybe into the FireWire port. Has anyone tried anything like this before? Does anyone have any suggestions?
