Why the heck not? Its one less thing to worry about. I had installed the Wordpress that came with Fedora core 7 but have since had some trouble with the i2o disk controllers. I basically lost everything on a RAID-5 array. Nothing aside from the few posts I made were really at risk of being lost, everything was just backed up prior to the system shuffling anyways.
The cause of this bizarre failure still escapes me.
I’d been tinkering with some new 100mm fans that I picked up at the local automotive/everything surplus store. The plan was to stuff as any of these as possible throughout both my desktop PC case and the server. 5 fans at $2.49ea…. great deal. I started with my desktop PC; in there is an eVGA 8800 GTS that idled in the mid 60C and would peak into the 80’s under load. 2 intake fans were added to it as well as an intake fan directly over the video card mounted on the case door. This did a great job of bringing the idle temps down to the mid-50’s and does a great job dissipating the heat under load.
