Maybe. Just maybe!! Heh. I just remembered. I once had a machine with such
bad convection/cooling that the ide cable melted!! There were no holes in
the case, and only a tiny 12v fan on the CPU.

Anyhuw, I forgot to mention in my original post that sometimes, the PSU
doesn't come on and do anything. It just hums in that ominous way that they
do when they are over/under loaded. If I turn it off and wait for the
buzzing to go away, it usually works on the second or third try.
