HTH,

Thanks again. The video driver is "Nvidia
GeForce 6200 Turbocache", the video card is
"Winfast A340 TDH"

I have left the fixed PCI-express cable
just
dangling free inside the case; a shame
because it looks bad and takes up space.

You can always find a cable tie and tie it
up, out of the way.

I did do this, using a plastic tie looped
around the power-supply fan inlet grill.

Incidentally, I have found that all the
components such as DVD writers, HDDs, power
supply, etc are cooler to the touch if I
leave the side panels off the computer.

Skeleton Clocks were in vogue in the 19th
century, and now I have a skeleton computer.

Of course! *With the panels off, there is more "air" to circulate.
There is just a few drawbacks to this:

1) More things can fall into the case to gum up the "fans."
2) More dust will be sucked into the fans
3) Things can fall into the case and yank the cables out.

And 4) Cats!

5) US also, especially if the PC is at floor level.

I'll wrap the computer in chicken wire.

Or snakes! I had to fix a computer after a 10' boa crawled into it for
a nap after dinner. Somehow the entire snake fit in and the only damage
was the IDE cable was knocked loose.

A *ten foot* boa fits into a computer? Yeah, right! Sounds like a
Texas tale.

I know the person that owned the computer and knew the snake. The snake
wasn't too big around and there is enough room in the bottom of the
tower to curl up into a ball. He barely fit and that is why the drive
cable got disconnected. I figure he crawled in as it was a nice warm
and dark place to take a after dinner nap.

I'll bet that wireless mouse would take a while to digest too! ;-)
