The CPU temp is usually in the 40s or 50s C (not too bad for a 1.6GHz > Athlon) and the memory is usually around 25C. ..but maybe I'll try pointing > a fan at it. Actually, I mean the disk overheating. They do that and they get worse at it as they age too. Also, some cases are designed to aid in the cooling and so with the case open, the airflow is either not properly directed or it doesn't get enough of a Bernouli or hydraulic effect, either of which is used to increase the air flow speed in critical areas. Of course, if it is a generic case that is probably not a consideration. ////jerry > > Thanks, > > joey > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) > > iD8DBQFAW1P90NQPEWppBZsRAjA1AKDECIaip9NIehDE3Gm0P6aeXV1SSQCgtp8+ > J1F13XmVghOIiEkvQTuHn0Q= > =Uogh > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > >
