I'm wondering what's the best way to cool off a Commodore 64 PSU. Should I put a house fan on top of it? I've found that only one face seems to heat up when I have it on a block of wood, so should I direct the fan towards that face? Is a fan even necessary?

I'm considering buying a Tandy 1000 machine, and I've singled out the SX as the easiest to find. However, I've heard that the Tandy machines need 768K of RAM, because the TGA video uses up part of the system RAM. Could I buy chips and place them in empty sockets on the mobo, or do I have to get...

I'm getting interested in vintage MS-DOS PC gaming, and I'd like an 8088 or a 286 to play games on. However, my searches for a suitable machine have came up dry. I thought it might be a good idea to build my own MS-DOS machine, but where would I find an empty case?
