Greetings people
That message thread title should give cyber nannies a fun time :-)
Well after following the general concensus of advice based around my stated requirements, you kindly gave me a couple of weeks ago, I now have sitting in front of me a shiny ASUS P2B motherboard, Celery 466, slot 1 adaptor and an ATX case fan.
Q1. A simple question, after mounting the case fan on the front of the computer (a midi-tower ATX case), should cold air be sucked in from the outside or the warmer air sucked out.
Q.2 I'm a bit lazy and don't really want to go through the hassel of reformatting and reinstalling Win98 and all my apps so soon after doing it the last time. Has anyone done the following when upgrading a motherboard, just prior to shutting down the computer for the last time, going to the system manager box and deleting all the hardware entries, shutting down the PC installing the new motherboard/CPU then powering it up and letting Win98 get on with working out what happened.
Or do I bite the bullet and start from scratch.
As always, any advice gratefully received.
Peter
