- But specifically why is the 'life of the machine' extended. I'm not
- an engineer but I know 'when computer get hot... bad thing
- happen...':) someone else mentioned that drive access will be
- affected, but other than a few read write errors what could go wrong?
- Would condensation form on the cpu, for example, due to the fact the
- cpu gets warm and warm things in 30o evironments frost up? (:-:)
