In my old 6400 I took the case apart and put a 3" box fan inside the case. It really helped cool things and was out of the way of the slide in motherboard. It helped get air around the Avid Cinema card that had wires running over to the video card on the other side of the DIMM's. It was really crowded, but cooler. -- Alan Miller Underwater Photographer http://home.earthlink.net/~uwphoto/ 9600/233 w/ G3/400 XLR8 ZIF, 1.5 G RAM eBay ID uwphotoer Live each day like it is your last because someday you'll be right. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
