[Cube] Problems with Powerlogix Upgrade 1.35 GHz - yout too?

[Stuart Birchall]

I wonder if it's a cooling or power issue?

I'm just about to install a Sonnet upgrade for a cube and have been looking 
at the PSU with some suspicion - How much capacity is in there to support 
power hungry upgrades?
