Nathan has a valid concern here; however, I've run four boards
in a cube (Turbo, '040 and two '030's) with a bunch of RAM;
an HP 1.2 Gig HD, floppy and optical, and two monitors.
I left this configuration running day and night for two
months over the summer with no problems. The NeXT power supply
is a tiger.
