Re: diskless box: fanless too ?

I've ran a few of these.
1) AFAIK you require a fan in a closed case
2) Watch out for condensation
   a) Can short the junction
   b) Has dissolved the adhesive on me more than once. I ran a K6/225 for
      a month with the fan fallen off, before it started sig11-ing and I
      checked inside. I'm still running that CPU too. It's my one Windows
      /Linux/USB machine.

I was running a junction on a 486SX/16 clocked up to 40 for about a year,
until I got my hands on a Cyrix DX2/80, which is running my firewall for
now.
