in the meanwhile i managed to get a SS4 -- should even be quiter than
SS5 !=TurboSPARC because it's PSU is only rated for 50watts :)

hey, i do have one (Octane2/R12k@400/V8/4Gig/only onle 18G HD, tho) and
okay, it blows very well :D. the thing about the MaxImpact is that if
you have it on your desk (like a desktop), then you can put your coffee
mug inline with it's front, a few centimeters on the left from it's
case. there's the hot air getting blown out from the graphics board.
your coffee will stay warm ;)

i recently tried the fastfan option on an octane -- whew!

time to get my O2 back on, i think. it's a R12k/400A so it's quite fast
and should be very good bulk building pkgsrc.

i had an origin200 back in 2002 -- nice machine. is this a donated one
(i saw sth. on a list, IIRC).

cheers,
