I just cracked open my P2 300 box. It has been running 24/7 for the last 4 and a half months.
Guess what I found? CPU Fan wasn't plugged in. Yup. I find that neat. It was incredibly stable, incredibly quiet (now I know why), and now I know it can run fine fanless.
I am surprised. The last things I thought could be air cooled were P1's, and even high mhz-P1's you were supposed to actively cool. This Slot P2 with it's stock heatsink (and fan) was doing fine all by itself, running as a server and folding 24/7.
Neat.
