In reference to the UNIX-PC cooling fan failures, when was
the automatic shutdown added?  Has anyone ever had it happen?
I mean, has anyone had a fan failure or a system temperature
problem (fan obstructed, too slow, etc.) and actually had the
automatic system shutdown take effect?  I'd be a little less
nervous if I had proof of this.  I'm also wondering about general
system reliability.  I would expect that if a catastrophic failure
occurred, the cost to fix the unit would be more in line with its
original ~$8000 price...
