My PC has a cool full tower case - made in the 80s and originally housing
a 386 (now spraypainted green). It has a huge 6" fan at the front by the
floor - every 6 months it starts to crash as the processor fan has turned
into a furball. It keeps the carpet clean though.

Unfortunately if you fit AGP gfx the card is upside down (with the chips
on the bottom) - I used to have a TNT2 complete with fan but it didn't
stop it dying of heat-stroke. I hope the new one lasts a bit longer.

PCs suck. I like my sparc.
