Re: The next step??

Gamers fitting fans on their rigs - never - everything is now water cooled. 
They tend to go for the most hideous of boxes that for some reason seem to 
be planned without a thought of cooling.  But then these days.
Yes, I am thinking of adding it to my birthday wish list in a couple of 
months, although there is some degree of auto control at the moment, it is 
more to when I apply heavy usage.  With a control I can turn it down for 
when I'm doing me clerical stuff.
Got to go. Uncle Billy wants me to download Antispy - I wonder if the old 
XXX is still trying to get me to take that 'sh one t' Defender.
Catch you later.  Got to disconnect everything.
