Hamster Power baby

My first 'real' computer that could do colour graphics - it's slowly falling apart, but so far still holding on to life. It fried its videocard (replaced), ran out of air with the PSU (replaced) and had the motherboard northbridge chipset cooler die. I suspect that last thing to be causing me trouble - if I boot the machine with FSB at 133MHz, it usually locks up before even getting to lilo. Letting it cool down for a while sometimes gets me to a login prompt, but never for much longer than a few seconds before it freezes again. Hmpf.

I think I might check for a heatsink of some kind to put in there; it won't be easy to fixate it on the mainboard, but at least I'll get my full whopping 1.73GHz back then...
