My last 'annoying' problem was a hairball in the heat sink under a small fan. (my box was vintage Pentium II - 266; Matrox Millenium too). In my case a small fan was mounted on top of a heat sink blowing down into the fingers of the heat sink. Over time dust built up under the fan where it was invisible on a quick inspection. -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage.
