An offline-replier advised me to look at the power supply. And since that's relatively easy to do and cheap, I'll go with that first. It now has a 300 watt no-name PSU for less then €30,-. I've played with the thought (sorry for this Dutch English) of a second machine (this time in a datacenter closer to where I live :-) ) since it's the easiest way to upgrade everything without any downtime. Anyway, thanks for your advices! -- Met vriendelijke groet, Ronald Paul
