I work in shipping/receiving here at work and we currently use an older Dell 5100 series (Pentium D) to run the UPS shipping software. The computer is tucked away in a desk cabinet out in the shop - where it gets VERY hot. The shop is very dirty/dusty, so the door to the compute cabinet must stay shut. This reduces ventilation and increases the already-high temperatures inside the computer case.
At any rate, the old Pentium D machine has been trucking along in this environment just fine for the past 3-4 years. Recently it's been showing signs of failure and we will probably have to replace it sooner rather than later.
Any recommendations for a low-workload computer for hot environments? About the only thing it does is connect to the local server here at work and run the UPS software. It doesn't need a ton of power and as far as price goes, cheaper is better.
Thanks
