I don't own any vintage cases at all and I'm very envious of those who do. They are very attractive, especially the Baby AT cases. I don't think I'll ever own one, however. Since I don't collect or own any AT motherboards to fit into one anyways. I suspect the shortage is due to collectors …

Have you repasted the card ? seems odd for it to get that hot. No, just gave it a good wash with water and dishwasher soap, after that I kept it in the oven for like half an hour @ 50 deg C to dry out... Really, I cannot keep my finger on the card, exactly under the GPU. But the card is working …
