[rescue] Hardware up FT/FS

[Cody Swanson]

I got my wife a used MDD mac 4 years ago that didn't have this done to 
it. I just went down to the local computer shop and bought a couple of 
quieter fans and soldered them in to the existing PSU. They had less 
airflow but it didn't seem to make a difference. It ran fine for the 3 
years she used it until I gave her a macbook and sold the MDD. I assume 
it still works like a champ.
