Hi Karlos,
  I asked the same question a couple of weeks back on the Amiga hardware hacks Yahoo group.
 The only reply I got, was to put the Apollo in a plastic bag , suck all the air out, seal the bag up and put it in the freezer for 20 mins. :-o

 I haven`t worked up the courage to do it yet...I might forget about it in the freezer, and have it turn up as a pizza topping..
I know what you mean about the fan..that poxy heatsink is too small to properly take the screws to hold the fan firmly without vibrating..
On schedule, and suing

Why not simply tap into the 5v of the floppy power cable for the fan?
 Or are you trying to do a neater job by powering it from an onboard source?
