i can, and have previously, taken the machine apart, it's a pain in the ass though. This solution seems to be work well for now...

Dammit

Might just be dusty (the fans and vents) _ Not sure how you would go about cleaning them though as I think its pretty tough to split those things apart.

We have a compressor at work for blowing dust out of computer fans etc- pretty effective.
Means you don't want to breath the air in the room that you do it in for a while until the dust settles.

If you find yourself in the Waterloo area give me a shout and we can have a go?

cheers dam!

I hasn't happened yet today, I'm running pretty much the whole CS3 suite at once, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, and Eclipse (which is set to 1Gb of memory). All of them have massive documents open, as well as all the normal apps, Firefox eats ram too, and it's all ok, I have the fan set to 1000rpm which is the default I think.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
