You know, you can only beat your machine like that so many times before it decides to leave you for good. It'll eventually find out that it can get a new case and a net connection at the Battered Server Shelter.

r- you're only supposed to hit it once, then you need to bring it flowers and tell it you didn't mean it baby, it was just the booze and you had a long hard day and and and

It came to 40-odd dollars with shipping, though as I said in the original post, our Airport base station can do its NAT/firewall function. Regency does offer some other functionality which is occasionally handy, like giving A Certain Someone a shell account via which they can log into ICB and chat with me without having to justify it to Another Certain Someone who is particular about giving out user accounts on A Certain Other Machine.
Anyway, it may actually never overheat.
After 6 hours uptime with the lid off, I shut the machine down to button it up properly, and felt the heat sink. It wasn't even warm!
