- Why does Dell have so many numbers? Why doesn't Dell have just one number with an easy-to-use voice menu system?
- Voice menu systems should ALWAYS offer an option to press a number instead of (or as well as the option of) speaking your response.

- HP no longer makes, supports, or provides parts for this product. Sold by HP in 2006, by 2009 HP considered this product obsolete. HP tech support was completely useless!!! (although polite and friendly)

- DC Fans
- http://www.cofan-usa.com/pdf/F4010II.pdf
- Cofan Tech Support was very friendly, helpful, knowledgable, and competent.
- It would be better to get a higher (rather than a lower) "Rated Current" because there would be a higher rated RPM fan speed. (i.e. 0.18A would be better than 0.13A) However, amperage is not very important, since the important thing is to get some air flow.
- F-4010L12B II - The L in the product number means "Low Speed", which means less noise.
- Watt --- W=V*A or watts=volts*amperes So ... W=12v*0.14A=1.68W
