Noisy fan
My Latitude CPx has a stock fan installed that is much quieter than most other ones I've seen. Not really. Anyway, after a certain time, the fan starts to cool the case. The problem is, it doesn't shut off. I'm sure that it is cool after about half an hour, even when I leave it sitting with no programs running. Is there any way to shut it off after a certain period of time?

I did a Google search and within about 10 seconds I found the definition.

Don't let you computer keep you up at night. Get yourself a fan controller so that you can alter the speed of your fans for different activities, such as sleeping, surfing the web, or gaming. Pick out your fan controller now and it will ship out today!
