The FGM web server is a Via ITX with C3 cpu. The hard drive that died
suffered from heat exhaustion...I think. The system was OK until the AC died
and wasn't repaired for several days. These little boxes need mucho air for
the drives, even a single drive.

Nice, very nice... Shame I can't convert the Dell Poweredge to use
one :) The Dell Dimension 3000 however is definitely a candidate. I
wonder if I can convince the employer to toss the monitors and get LCD's
and replace all the power supplies with these things? I can dream, right?
