17:08 < whitequark> I once had a home server based on a pentium iii motherboard with makeshift passive cooler
17:09 < whitequark> usually it was around 50°C, but once a night a cron job kicked in and it started gzipping stuff, bringing it up to 110°C
17:09 < whitequark> first time I discovered that, I literally burned myself
17:09 < whitequark> that thing had uptime of about 1.5 years when I finally scrapped it
17:10 < whitequark> oh and that job took about two hours each night... this is quite a testament to reliability.
