Computers...to love them or to hate them?

[lsdiamond]

Well, it looks as though I have a hardware problem. The Peltier fan on the CPU is running REALLY hot. The porcelain plate on the bottom should be cold to the touch while it's running...it's not. Thankfully, it looks like we found out before it turned into another $200+ problem. Sadly, we can't find our spare fan, and certainly can't afford to go out and get a new one.

So I will be using +Kyle's system for email purposes, but unavailable for chat, etc. until...hmm... Assuming +Kyle can't find work within the next 2 weeks... August sometime? Maybe... If we don't incur any more unforseen bills, that is...

LS, why did you have a peltier fan in the first place?

....cause it's the one +Kyle put in his system? LOL! I dunno - he really liked them when they first came out, and it has worked really well for several years. He never had a problem with his system. Then he upgraded, I got his hardware (still an upgrade for me) and it was fine until the other day when my system started crashing randomly...pulled off the cover and voila...hot fan.

I get the feeling you know something we don't about Peltier fans... *frets*
