I have a Pentium-166 box with 64M RAM, a 2G SCSI disk, SCSI
CDROM and SCSI DAT which had a fan failure in its power supply.
Circumstances prevented me from replacing the power supply for a
couple of weeks and it kept going fine -- it was (and still is)
my backup server, so the DAT drive was in use every night.

Despite the "success" of this unintended experiment, I don't
actually recommend it -- not without fairly careful measurements
and checks of specifications.
