I think the Kyrotech boxes have something like that also. The only area
that has a lull in airflow is between the CPU and AGP slot. I honestly
wish the AGP port was on the bottom of the motherboard so I could stick
my slot fan where the G200 is right now. Leaving the case off is not an option
for me because I have 7 rather active, to say the least, cats.
Like my DEC Multia, it makes a nice little spaceheater. Apologies for going off
topic but I think people will find this humerous. We had a LAN party in the
basement of my house with about 15 to 20 computers (space was tight). This
was in the middle of winter in Michigan (much like the winters in Finland) and
we had to turn off the heater and open a few windows upstairs from all the
heat. :)
I have thermal pasted the BX chip now and it hasn't had much effect but this
box has been really stable. [knock on thin-metal case]

Intel's chips seem to take heat better than AMD and/or Cyrix chips. I think the
tolerances are a bit higher. I've thought about getting the V3 3500 because
that would eliminate the G200/2 V2's/Hauppauge. I'd just have the V3, SB Live
and my Tulip card. Much less heat.

I've played with it on a friend's multia and the @Home network people are
clueless in general. Unfortunately the RJ45 port on that board is toast,
otherwise it would be working, with 99% of my setup code for the modem setup
here.

I do that under linux and nt.. but for a barnburner of a test I do:
3 concurrent kernel compiles
RC5DES running on both CPUs
SETI on both CPUs
hdparm -Tt in a loop
If something is going to fail, it will then. ;-)
SETI tends to rob RC5DES but i haven't dinked with nice values.
Thanks for the info.
