Nice! I wish I had a couple extra e-net cards; then I'd
make my hp380 my firewall.

Uh 0h. There are two fans, one for the power supply, another
for the card cage and they are essential. They are located in
the front, where they suck air. Get them fixed before
powering your machine again. I am amazed that the PS did not
die after an hour. But then again, we were just saying that
these machines are built like tanks...
