Sometimes just as you've got everything figured out.
I have my fan connected to a 1/8 mono jack, which is supplied ~12V from the power switch on my DX500. Works the trick and turns on / off with the main power. Perfect...almost.
Hindsight is an incredible thing, and I now know not to unplug the fan while its on...because if you do you create a direct short, and even though momentary, it's enough current to pop a trace like dandy little fuse.
The smallest portion of the + supply to the power switch isn't exactly in a convenient location, either. Directly under the switches on the front board. Ughhh.
I'll probably end up cleaning out the sliver of a trace with an exacto knife (I *think* I can get in there) and jumper a new supply over to the switch, even though it feels kind of half-assed.
