It rarely if ever gets that high, maybe once every few years. Tasmania is the coldest state in Australia. As far as I am concerned a comfortable temperature is about a third of that.

Not if its an HP, Compaq, E-Machine, or Dell. They love to over heat and fail.

Heh...it was early in the morning and I had little sleep. Brain's a little fuzzy about that time of day http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif Thanks for correcting.

Operation succesfully carried out, and despite what I feared the patient didn't die on the operating table.

Quick! Bring the paddles! *ZAP!*

They also make these neat alcohol wipes that don't conduct electricity, and are great for everything from cleaning monitors and mice, to keyboards and possibly even the inside of a computer. Handy if you don't want sticky mice or all that gunk on a monitor/keyboard.

And about what Fyron said about HP computers overheating, it's true. Apparently from how they make their cases, they never thought that people would place a GRAPHICS CARD inside a PCI-X slot.

I would probably only feel comfortable with an air can. Let those experts use a vacuum cleaner (AAAH! STATIC!!).

What is the prognosis on the patient's recovery?

Re: OT-BLoody heatwave
 

Well it's running smoothly now. More hot weather is predicted later in the week so I'll have to wait and see how it goes. The computer used to be downstairs where it was cooler but it had to be moved upstairs where all the heat goes.
