Oh yeah, I think I left off the cpu details on the web site.

It is a 1.0Ghz Tualtin Celeron and the memory is garbage pc133.

We got the memory to 168Mhz b4 we realized that there is HostClk-PCiClk (for running Pentium IIIs on 100mhz memory). Keep in mind that there is no way that the memory would have been stable for anything but a post (and barely for that) with it running at 168mhz. I was very suprised that it got that high.

I saw soem guys who threw a computer into a minifridge... works pretty well just remember to let it dry if you ever turn it off

I have new pictures of temp (readable) and pictures of the inside. The temps got a few degrees lower with the fridge on for 1.5 days.

cool, gonna try better memory?

probably not because the memory got to 168mhz (I guess being so cold helps a lot). Then we found an option to set the memory speed to FSB - PCI clock so if the bus was 133 then the memory would only be 100. The PCI clock is more as you raise the FSB, so the memory is not close to maxing out when we get to 1.7 (170 fsb). I can't wait till I get a chance to put a hard drive in. My guess is that we could get to windows on 160mhz fsb and it might be stable
