Pretty sure he has a FC system, so I'd guess a 4650 card. Seems Debian Mint has h/w acceleration, I don't think its the gfx card, but I'm still a linux noob.

However we don^t have there hardware3D only software3D.When we use gldrivers we get a kernelpanic.

I've never faced a terabyte storage situation before. Since I expect to continue to be too lax about the matter, my past tactic has been...

Speaking of small fans, my A1XE had the small original fan on it for 5 years with no heat problems. It did overheat when I first got it, but it was not the CFM, it was that the fan was too close to the heatsink and the center of the fan did not allow air to be drawn toward the hot center of the hea...

The Zalman CNPS7000B-ALCU 92mm 2 Ball Cooling Fan isn't expensive & should do the job, I would think.

Type idetool -l sb600sata.device in a shell, the drive should be running "current 70 (UDMA 6, 133 MB/s)" after the update.

Wow, just looked up that cooler, it's 180mm W & 148mm H, thats 7 in x 6 in, huge & would never fit.
