FYI, I've seen the temperature inside a building be 72, yet the computer will still show heat related problems. It is a good idea to shove as many fans into a computer as you can! My Dual P-166 had 8 fans in it just to keep it cool enough. That's a bit extreme true, but adding a fan to the front of your computer case is a cheap investment versus replacing over heated hardware, and the trouble shooting time you'll have to deal with. > to load a system on it later without bad144: I have a feeling that > bad144 is probably never needed on modern SCSI or IDE disks. If any hard drive that is less then three years old shows bad sectors these days, it's a bad drive. It's either overheated, the platters are losing their magnatism, or the hard drive motor is not keeping it's RPM's consistent. The only time I'd accept bad sectors on a hard drive is on MFM or RLL drives, not IDE, and never under any circumstances, SCSI.
