[wellylug] Power Supplies

[Francois Prowse]

Or, if you can get a decent KVM that handles high res screen modes (and 
you don't have anything to fancy like dual screens) then do what I did and 
stick it all in a nearby cupboard and shut the door. Run a few cables 
somehow (I ended up creating a 5 cm diameter access hole at the side of 
the wall) 

Warning, it is very earie when you have absolutly no sounds at all from 
the computer.
