Re: solutions for "udb heat death"

[David Holley <polaris_club yahoo com>]

  I have mounted a 486 cooling fan below the CPU heatsink, screwed into

into the unit and blow across the mainboard.  This combination keeps
things inside pretty cool.

  This PC Air works only if you do not have an internal 3.5" drive.
