I think someone mentioned earlier in this thread that the attic<br>
is NOT a good place to put a server -- at least not in Atlanta.<br>
Temperatures in a well ventilated attic in the summer will easily<br>
exceed 100F; poorly ventilated ones get much hotter. I wouldn't<br>
trust any modern CPU to be reliable in that hot an environment.<br>
