Heh. The cover is off, unfortunately. See, a few semesters ago some fruit punch spilled onto the case, making it very sticky (still to this day, after a wipe down) and hard to open. I also haven't figured out the correct CDROM jumper settings so my DVDROM and CDRW can coexist, and be recognized peacefully in DEVICE MANAGER. I keep telling myself to get one of my more knowledgable friends to figger it out for me ...

I have heard that leaving a case open makes it quite poor for air circulation (cold in, hot out) but I'm not sure if thats applicable in this case either, as the PCs in the basement and with that nasty cold snap in the North East, quite brisk and chilly most of the time.

For all I know, it could be my comp overheating from too many components jammed into the case (1x40GB 7.2K, 1x80GB 5.4K, 1x120GB 7.2K)
