Here's a tip, disconnect the small but LOUD cooling fans inside the cabinet. Damn things are so loud in a home environment and I never had a lick or trouble after disconnecting them.

Quoted from flynnibus:The biggest failures in these units are the motherboards and hard drives.... and you are taking away their cooling. And what kills PF hardware better than anything else? Heat
Like I said, never had a problem and owned several units for many years. I also wasn’t running my Megatouch games nonstop on location. Do whatever you want, but I preferred a quiet system.
Quoted from MikeS:Also, has anyone upgraded their Hard drive to SSD and is the performance/speed gain worth it?
Adding memory will noticeably improve performance. Not sure a HD swap would be worth the effort though. Just make sure you have the memory maxxed out on the motherboard - that old RAM is dirt cheap.
