DEC Alphaserver 4100 CPU fans

[Patrick Finnegan]

If you have a model number and/or pictures, we could probably figure out a
modern replacement.  The biggest things to try to match would be size, CFM,
voltage, and the number of wires (for any PWM control and RPM sensor).

Digikey seems to have a fairly good assortment of available fans.
