Sorry, this isn't worth the typing involved...P4, DDR, ATA, XP, if it was my best bud's I would trash it!

You'd throw away someone else's computer?

I certainly would suggest it to them...but I'm sure you knew what I meant!

Hi, as a Dell Dimension owner I thought I'd add a very simple solution:
Just replace the inexpensive fan if it seems to not be running fast enough.

I suspected the fan: jiggling the wires (or the plug) caused it to momentarily speed up, then back to continuous idle no matter what.

OR; Buy a two wire fan wired directly to the power supply running full blast if the Dell is powered up.

OR: a PCI slot fan that connects to the power supply, with a little speed control knob even.
