"Junk faxes are not only an inconvenience to consumers, but they waste money, time and interfere with crucial businesses operations. In order to do business in today's world you need a fax machine. The intent of the machine is to communicate with friends, family, and business partners. It is not an open invitation for unscrupulous advertisers to block your phone lines, run up your operating budget, and waste paper."

This is the exact reason why I make house-calls to my parent's house to clean their computers out. A shop vac and can of compressed air can get the job done rather quickly. I also built their computers in Lian-Li cases that have two intake fans that pull through some filters that filter out the larger stuff, although I must note that air filters are not recommended unless they're cleaned regularly, hence my regular visits (which you should visit your parents regularly anyway, damit).
However the article notes simple fan failure. This is why I like redundancy. Two intake fans and an exaust fan ensure that airflow in the body of the case doesn't simply quit, and the power supplies have one intake and one exaust fan as well. If any of them die, I'll catch it soon enough, and any one failure isn't a big problem. The computers don't make much noise, either, despite the fans. I also have the computers set up so they stop if the CPU fan dies. I think some BIOSs do that, but I know there are userland programs for Windows that achieve this.
Quite frankly, I don't know how people can get by without regular maintence/inspection like this. Many normal consumers who buy their computers from Dell or Gateway, I feel, have living, wurring Athlon XP timebombs.
It must be me, but they are comparing wetter water/water with a glycol/water coolant in the link i placed before. Or is this just a case of marketing?
Just because they're comparing the two doesn't mean one is a replacement for the other. Before, you'd run either water, or water+glycol. Now you add another variable, giving four possible combonations:
water
water+wetter
water+glycol
water+glycol+wetter
It only makes sense to compare them all. Also, I can tell that you think this is some product someone would sell on a 4am infomercial (cause you said so yourself). This is not the case, Red Line Oil is a trusted company, they make all sorts of oils for engines, transmissions and differentials. Racers use Red Line any time they can afford it. The closest competetor made by a well-known brand is Mobil 1 synthetic.
The product that *does* deserve your criticism is the "magical" stuff that you see when you walk into AutoZone or O'Rileys thats colored bright pink and in cool-looking plastic erlin-meyer flasks that promises to produce more power and stop your engine from smoking and make your abs firmer.
Trust me, Red Line is well respected in the automotive community. Or don't trust me, I don't care. But Red Line Oil is heavy duty stuff, not some magical frilly thing. Water Wetter is interestingly named, yes, and even the packaging seems a bit silly. But it's certainly not reliant on people's impluse buying.
You obviously didn't read (or understand) the link you yourself provided to Red Line's webpage. No, this is not a replacement for glycol anti-freeze. Yes, you should just add it to the water. Pure water conducts heat a *lot* better than water+antifreeze. The best hot-day racing coolant is pure water and a bottle of this stuff. So long as your system is running well, you can't possibly overheat. First-hand experience talking, here.

After the tubing has been installed and the cooling circuit has been closed, turn the pump on, then pour the distilled water into the header tank until the entire system is filled with water. In order to break the surface tension of the water and prevent air bubbles from forming, add a drop of dishwashing liquid.
I can think of something better to use than dishwashing liquid. Red Line Oil makes something called Water Wetter which does the same thing; Its primary function is to lessen water's surface tension in cooling systems in cars. From Red Line's webpage on the product (with advantages relating only to vehicles removed):
BENEFIT SUMMARY
Doubles the wetting ability of water
Improves heat transfer
Reduces rust, corrosion and electrolysis of all metals
Provides long term corrosion protection
Cleans and lubricates water pump seals
Prevents foaming
Complexes with hard water to reduce scale
You can get a bottle of this, put a little bit in with your tiny computer cooling system, the rest in your car's, and you'll have better cooling all around. And this stuff prevents foaming, rather than promoting it like dishwasher liquid.
Seriously though, after posting I realized that the question was slightly valid. But I'm sure thats what every beowulf-cluster troller starts to think after a while.
You think you're joking, but I was one of those midgets when Dad decided he was going to buy a 'fridge and my two brothers and I were in the cargo area of the U-haul doing exactly that -- climbing around the fridge, keeping it in place.

You don't understand. Water wetter is not a glycol replacement and breaking surface tension is useful at any coolant temperature.

I'm afraid this is the broken-window fallacy. It will not strengthen the economy. We are safe, for now.
