The Monster (Score 1)

I keep an old Cyrix 166 in my wiring closet that runs Slackware Linux. It has been dubbed the "closet monster." It holds my MP3 collection and functions as an ftp occassionally. I treat the thing like absolute sh**. Whenever I need parts for another computer I tear stuff out of it without shutting it down so as to maintain its uptime. Right now, it only has a NIC and a sound card, I had to swipe its video card. At one point I wandered by the closet and it was making a horrible noise, I thought the fan was going, but, so what? Later that day, I walk by, no noise. Turns out the CPU fan had eaten through a power cable and shorted the thing out. I pulled the cable out, threw in some electrical tape and it continues to be the most reliable POS I have.
