Well steve - thermal monitoring may not mean much to you, but it can save a system. Consider a fan failure... without a warning an eventual CPU meltdown and maybe a few other fried components. New motherboard, downtime, cost etc. A $1.50 fan failure can cause hunderds maybe thousands of dollars of damage. Of course, the systems you work with only cost $500 so it doesn't matter now does it? I think when I/S managers UNDERSTAND what thermal monitoring is and how little it will cost to implement, they just might want it. MEATHEAD
