Sorry Tony I did misunderstand you.   Mmmm PS fan, never seen a box running
without a fan on the PS. Some power supplies will turn themselves off if the
fan is not running but usually they were introduced around the middle of the
486 run.

Since AT power supplies can be had for nearly nothing then an experiment
would not be costly, unless it fried everything of course (which has
happened to me twice in 18 months on the same machine....power supply
failure in the low side put 240 V across the whole machine (a server in a
single server commercial network)...blew mobo,CD, 20 Gb HDD, Seagate tape
deck, etc etc) inconvenient, expensive and embarassing.

Personally, I would be a bit wary, I would cut the grill off the PS and try
to angle the power supply upwards so the heat might get away a bit better.
As Rob suggests, RAM and CPU would prabably be less of a problem than HDD. I
dont know what box you are using but some of the slimline cases (eg the
Digital slim boxes) had 145 watt power supplies that may be worth a look ...
I have a few of those if you want to try one.
