Bet the fan would cost more to replace than the 486 chip ...
I do the same, only I use a Pentium 100; it has a PCI bus. My 486 didn't,
and so occasionally had problems sustaining the throughput of my DSL line.
I literally took that machine home out of the "discard" pile here at work
... I run LEAF on it (see .sig), so I don't even need a hard drive in it.
Hard to get cheaper than that. :-)
