You could try to 'ovenize' the one it has. There are limitations, of course. You'd have to locate it, and control its temperature, probably not at several hundred degrees but at room temperature or below. It would be less efficient than only cooling or heating a crystal unit. Keeping a room at a constant temperature might actually be easier than the other thing you could do - not run *any* other services on the computer. No cron at 3am. (Alternatively, make it run at 100% CPU always. Perhaps [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be _good_ for stability.)
