I'd like to note that a PM3, with a full load of modem cards, will continue to operate if you *DISCONNECT* the single fan (which is really there to cool the power supply) and it will NOT overheat in an average room under those conditions. Control of overheating starts by being *very* careful about power consumption to begin with. Remember that you pay for every watt consumed *twice* -- once to feed the machine, and again to remove it from the room. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and every watt you consume in a piece of computer hardware ends up in the room as heat. -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@MCS.Net)| MCSNet - Serving Chicagoland and Wisconsin <A HREF="http://www.mcs.net/~karl">http://www.mcs.net/~karl</A> | T1's from $600 monthly to FULL DS-3 Service | NEW!
