Well this old laptop can't handle it as my main computer so, while I haven't tried replugging in the fans on the Predator, it's time to shop. Looked on line a bit. Not so impressed with desktops, don't think I want a big footprint tower on my desk or on the floor. Laptops are just as powerful and more versatile. At Walmart I was reminded of an old interest in Chromebooks. They're cheap, $250-500. A decent Windows laptop is > $1000.
