[ale] OT: Athlon XP temps

[John Wells]

Jeff,

Using an Antec SX835II.  It's a mid-tower with quite a bit of space.  It
has two intake fans on front, three output on back (two case fans plus
power supply) and a internal intake fan on the power supply.  Ambient
temps seem to be hovering at around 34-36C.

I don't have rounded IDE cables...I'll look into getting some of those. 
Thanks!

John
