Might get by with a good cleaning inside the case ... vacuum out the fins on the heat sink real good. Maybe replace the cooling fan. Get the dust off of all the other components. I managed to keep my old desktop (the one I use for general internet) in service for a good number of years that way. It'll save you some money if it works.

My desktop started becoming very flaky, which upon testing all my hard drives I attributed to one of the external drives beginning to fail. No such luck, apparently the CPU was giving up the ghost. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to take this as a golden opportunity to build a new desktop. Meanwhile to have a convenient place to work I've decided to load an email client on my work laptop. Now I've only got to load the other tools onto this machine, assuming the connection to the PDML works.
