Hi Gang ! Well, I was fiddling around with some computer stuff today, and spotted my second Packard Bell Corner Computer sitting abandoned on a shelf. I haven't done anything with it since receiving it a couple of months ago, and had forgotten that it didn't have a HDD in it. So when I plugged...

I am not very technically minded, but would appreciated some advice. I have a Packard Bell Ixtreme Gold MC 1904 which is running OK, but I have a slight concern with it. There is a fan inside the box which, as I would expect, runs continuously. What concerns me is that the fan speed varies...
