RE: * NEW * Alternative approach to CPU (P4) power supply

I had an Antec EA430 before replacing it with a linearly powered Pico. In the cMP^2 scenario, it is perfectly safe to run the PSU "fanless" (simply unplug the fan) as long as you're not concerned about voiding the warranty. My old configuration (G31M-S2L+E7200+EA430) could run 24/7 for weeks with no stability or heat issues.
