Note that my SS4/110 had a problem that after I upgraded the disk from the
1gb disk it came with to a 4gb, and stuck an sbus card in, when it got
hot, it would randomly hang. It turned out the power supply was too small
and I had to upgrade to the 250W (I think... the one the SS5/170 used)
power supply to make it happy.
