don't have to worry bout that if you keep the side cover off, i never have mine on unless i'm transporting.HiTech said:Tidy up those wires/cables. It helps a bit towards better cooling, esp. when ribbon cables are so wide.

well then i guess my temperature sensors lie to me....Marks256 said:People who leave the side panel off their computers piss me off! Computer cases are designed to allow peak airflow WITH the side on. Why you may ask? Just look at the way the components are positioned! With the side of the case on, air is FORCED to flow over all major components. When the side of the case is off, air will just "sit" in certain areas causing heat build up.
You want to take care of your computer? KEEP THE SIDE ON! Also, take a can of air to the insides every so often. Computers attract dust; keep them clean!
My side panel isn't really a side panel. It's grating that allows for four 120mm fans to be mounted.Marks256 said:People who leave the side panel off their computers piss me off!

Ran an AMD K5(? -- equiv. to the 486) without a heatsink and a 10" desktop against the case.crusty said:120mm fans? that's puny, hell i gotta 120v 6 inch desktop fan blowing on mine.
You should have to reinstall the Winwoes unless your hard drive died or the file system had become corrupt unless it's just Winwoes being a knob of course.Krumlink said:I had to upgrade and reinstall XP
Even if Winwoes had gone down you shouldn't have had to delete all your stuff unless it was to corrupted to retrieve. You could have booted from a live Linux CD and copied it to DVD, CD, USB stick or USB hard drive. Even if that wasn't possible you could have installed your hard drive in another PC and copied all your files on it.Krumlink said:I had 70GB out of 120GB used, then I had to delete it all.

You shouldn't have to re-install all that BS again, just windoze next time.
