Of course, my little single CPU system running folding is probably not that big of a deal. What may also be a good idea is to have some way to shut the systems down when they get to hot or if the A/C fails. I would think a temperature sensor would be better myself. I !think! gkrellm can do that. I'm sure there is a way to do it automatically tho. After all, you can't monitor temps 24/7 but the system can. Dale :-) :-)
