I had this drilled into me from the moment I started building systems from
scratch. My home system is an ASUS dual PII/350 (kind of old technology)
with SCSI drives. Each SCSI HD has a dual fan bay cooler. The front of
the case has a thermo-controlled fan and I payed extra for the high
efficiency CPU fan and heat sinks.
Along this line I had a customer that was having intermittent system
lock ups. Finally had the tech checked inside the case and found the CPU
fan was disconnected. And this was only a Pentium 166 or some such. I
can only guess what would have been result if this would have been a 800+
MHz processor.
