Default Too many radios?

I've only got one shelf full and a 3 foot stack on CB stuff.

Here's a look at my microprocessor museum:

Cool. I collect the CPU fans. I have one bolted to the back of my 148 to
keep the output transistors cool. I'm trying to think of a good spot to
mount a pair to my 2 pill without the blades interfering.



Here's a picture of a couple of mounted fans:

My other IC-2100 has a fan just like the one on the left.
When contesting at 50 watts in the summer, you _NEED_ cooling!


My heat sink fins are three inches deep. I'm thinking that I can take my
dremel and cut into the fins so the fan or fans will be inset and out of
harms way while still protecting the unit. I use mine at less than the
maximum power anyway so I don't have heat problems in the house, but during
the summer in the truck the temp can get up there in a hurry.
