I'm requesting your help on a few things, here's the (long) story.
About 10-12 years ago I bought a secondhand Mega STE (4MB, hard drive), hoping to use it to transfer disks faster than my good old ST, thanks to the faster serial port (I was using MSA / Ghostlink then).
Reality is that I never had time for this, so the Mega STE remained on a shelf.
Then came SaTanDisk (eternal respect), which made the Ghostlink and need for a fast serial port thing a bit obsolete.
I recently decided to sell the Mega STE, and plugged it back to check it was still working. 1st reaction was "oh yes I'll sell it, how noisy it is!".
But by trying to restore the system CPX for the next owner, I found that some games were adapted for 16mHz option (Damocles runs faster!), that it was possible to change the fan for a silent one and so on... And found it interesing again... Knowing that I got hooked only because for the 1st time in 10 years I could spend a day off to play with it!
So now, I wonder again if I should sell it (and keep the 520 STE with 4MB / UltraSaTan)... As I'm the only person that can answer this in the end, all I'm not going to ask you is a list of questions that maybe you can help me answering. Thanks!
1/ new programs
I saw two websites with patched games for Mega STE:
http://atari.8bitchip.info/fromhd.php
http://d-bug.mooo.com/
=> it's already amazing, but are there other websites with specific Mega STE content like these ones?
2/ usage compared to 520 STE
I mainly keep my STEs because I hope some day to use Cubase / Synthworks M1 (got the originals) with my M3-R expander. Would such programs run significantly better on Mega STE than a 4MB Atari 520 STE, or is it more or less the same? (had no time to test/compare)
3/ fan noise
Anyone actually replaced the Mega STE fan by a new silent one? Was it easy for a non-soldering guy? (seems so according to a website, but any feedback welcome)
4/ fan
Can it be simply removed or is it hazardous? What is it there for: a chip, the hard drive, power supply? (I hate noisy computers but I don't want to kill any machine

5/ SaTanDisk
Can the Mega STE hard drive be removed for an internal SaTanDisk / UltraSaTan? This question includes: can the required items (UltraSaTan, adapters, ...) be easily bought nowadays? (I already bought HDDriver)
6/ Disk transfer to PC
What's today's best tools for this (software/hardware), can the be easily found/bought, is a Mega STE better than a simple STE for this?
7/ opinion
knowing that I'll probably at best only use it once or twice a year, do you think I should sell the Mega STE?
Phew, thanks for reading all this!

I know many of the questions are probably already answered here or there, I'll keep searching but if you guys can provide fast pointers, answers or experience feedback, that would be much appreciated

Thanks!
