Anyone have any ideas on this, other than throwing it away? It still works, as a file server....

You could build one of those high tech refrigeration units to cool it WAY down

I saw this thing one time where somebody did that to an Pentium 700 or something. Got the thing up to 1GHz just buy cooling!

Well, I left it in the freezer overnight - but it hasn't helped.

LOL
picturing walking into the kitchen in the middle of the night for a drink and seeing power/monitor/serial cables popping out of the fridge, turning around and going straight back to bed..

Well, I think I'm onto a no-winner here, even the liquid nitrogen cooler I made only cracked the LC's case and didn't make it go any faster, in fact I think the electrons even slowed down a bit... No wait, I've got it, an LC Cube mod? Na, thats been done too... It might be old, but for testing dodgy SCSI devices, and as a file/web server, etc, I wouldn't throw it away just yet... who can say that about their 15 year-old PC???
