PSU fan, smallish cpu fan on a k6-III, might use 50 watts. No hard drive or
other noisemakers in it. Its sitting open to the world and I can't hear it
over the fans etc in the big tower under the next desktop.

Yes, and I stand corrected, I looked for one high and wide a year ago. Be

resuscitated from brick status, although I'd be surprised if Tiger shipped a
brick. Very surprised. And at that price, don't break their mailbox putting
a check in it.
