I'm already racked and a I have covered the ten thousand extra holes
they put in the server rack for more fans :) I have a path of air
from front to back.
Athlons are known to burn out easy, so I bought the coolest fan I
could find, not realizing it was a jet engine :) I have 2 systems
with the fan and it is crazy!!!
