comon misconception, having the case open a computer will not reduce the heat on the mobo and chips,


Not necessarily. All things being equal in conditioned enviorment, a computer will usually run cooler with the case off. In an unconditioned enviorment you would be correct, it may even run hotter with the case open.

Well, I don't have air conditioning, but I don't have chasis fans either. However, I *do* live in england, which isn't famed for high temperatures ;-)

@framiga
Try looking at my comment once again... I suggested that he installed some software to test the PPC cpu, before he starts installing a lot of PPC software, and then in the end have a lot of PPC software he can't use after all.

But why would you fill a car with a broken engine? And could more than one engine possibly fit in a car, so it wouldn't actually be full be 'filling' it with one engine? Oh, and why have the engine filled with gasoline?

Nevermind me :)
