    Just found this thread, and happy to see that a Spooky kit is coming soon. Got my ACNC recently and my pins are in the living room of a house with zero carpet and hard floors in every room. It sounds like a jet engine in my living room when I have ACNC on. Can't wait to get rid of the fan noise! I am sure when R&M gets shipped, people will be replacing that one as well (I know I will if they use the same fan).

    Quoted from PinMonk:

    Spooky/Multimorphic quiet fan kit (SF-003) is in the pinmonk store as of today! (Spike Pro 300W is almost out of beta for the instructions testing to make sure they're bulletproof)[quoted image]

    Finally! I will be able to leave my ACNC on and still hear the television over the fan noise. Thanks, ordered!

    Quoted from gac:

    Got one for when R&M arrives down the road.

    I thought about that when placing my order, but decided to wait. A lot can change between now and game #544. They may decide to do something about the fan noise on their own between now and then (doubt it), so figure I will take my chances that these are still available when my game comes. More than likely, it is a safe bet to buy now. They haven't changed the fan through the entire TNA and ACNC runs, no reason to think they will now.

    I finally got around to installing mine today on my ACNC. The hardest part was disconnecting/reconnecting the rear external wires on the power supply just due to lack of room and a good view. But the directions are spot on and install was super easy.

    I will say that it made a HUGE difference! In my house, the fan was super loud just due to the acoustics of the room. After the swap, it is silent. An amazing upgrade!! When my R&M comes someday, this swap will be one of the first things I do to the pin.

    I didn't even remove the wires from the front of the power supply. Those 4 wires go to 1 molex connector which plugs in right behind the power supplies on the back wall of the cab. I just unplugged that molex and the front was done.
