    Haa, that looks just like one I worked on in 97

    Distribution center, completely automated, little whitebox hanging out over a 20 ft drop strapped to a conveyor belt.

    Hey Rumba, Node 17 is dropping a lot of packets, go check on it.

    I get out there, unstrapped the lid (they had a belt around it instead of screws, give where it was, i was thankful.

    lifted the lid and cardboard dust just billowed out. It was a 386 or maybe a 486sx no cpu fan, but it was full up to the PS with box dust, i took it down to the floor and blew it out, put it right back in service, lasted longer than the plant.
