Now this is interesting. There are no fans inside my box at work. Only
a heatsink. Well, there's the P/S fan. But that's it. I'll have to try this
tomorrow too, err..today rather. My box at home has 3 fans and I rarely have
any problems. The one at work is a P133(debian). At home it's a 6x86MX
PR200(slack (soon to be debian (ahh! nested parens!))).
Thanks for all the help!
