Just be sure it has some sensible approach.  I helped out a friend last 
year who was having problems with her box crashing.  She'd added 3 fans 
to the box and started having the problems after that.  Problem was, all 
the fans were pulling air in, just the power supply fan trying to pull 
all that air back out.  We turned one fan around and all was happy.  I 
never could make her understand the idea of moving air through the box.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
