Condensation is one thing I noticed immediately when I saw the one at comdex. It was dripping with it. I figured though that if you had a temperature sensor which would control it, turning it on and off, then this wouldn't be a problem since you don't need to get the processor cold, just keep it not too hot. (Ok, keeping it cold *would* be best but the thought of dripping water inside my case makes me very nervous.) > > > I was running a junction on a 486SX/16 clocked up to 40 for about a year, > until I got my hands on a Cyrix DX2/80, which is running my firewall for > now. > > On Mon, 3 May 1999, Brian Servis wrote: > > > *- On 3 May, Jens B.
