The Iron Systems A110's are Via C3's on mini-itx boards. I've got four of them. They definaly won't overheat. If anything, they are over cooled. They are quite loud.

It's hard to cool something that small and there's a lot of crap out there. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
