I have (or had) two 501s that had the Tandy "upgrade."  A very cheap 
permanent magnet can motor with a real cheap stamped aluminum fan.



I have tucked a 1.2" CPU cooler fan in a 501.  It is the voltage regulators 
that need the air flow.  They were a little under cooled for running two 
drives.  I tapped the fan power from the 12 volt line for the drives.



They made the 502 case even cheaper.  I don't recall just where a fan could 
be hung ATM.
