Well, I offered up my bppc here and people gave some really lowball offers... so I thought I'd hook it up and see if the old beasty still worked. As I expected it works perfectly, so really glad I didn't sell it for ~50 quid.
Now, the problem I have is that inside the desktop case without the top lid it gets hot enough to burn the skin off of your fingers. I ran the amidog port of darcnes with supermario for about 10 hours to fully test the ppc. It didnt crash but there was a funny burning plastic smell. The trapdoor cover I think....
What ways have you guys come up with for cooling a bppc in a desktop case? I was thinking of making a copper piece that mounts over both the ppc and 040, with a tail that comes up and out of the trapdoor (under the number pad on the keyboard) and then mounting a peltier on the tail piece... but that's a bit extreme if there is an easier way to keep the temp down.
Suggestions on the back of a postcard...
