For desktop PC's especially in the Linux world where X and the like mean the cpu crunching is done on another box I'm meeting more and more people who are solving the cooling problem by using ultra-cheap VIA fanless PC's A desktop PC costs $200 in bulk. Thats at the point where its actually questionable use of staff time to even try and repair one. Just do a deal with a recycler or charity to rip out the disk and resell/recycle /reuse the rest. The same is happening with a lot of this technology. DVD region codes used to be a real pain, now everyone just spends $20 on a 2nd hand slow DVD drive for the other regions they care about Alan
