The main problem is that the fan mechanically broke. Someone good at 
welding would need to look at it, and I think it needs pretty careful 
balancing as well. So that is a bit of an effort.
And then we don't have that much memory for it. The primary machine have 
60MB in it. I think we only have 4 or 8MB left for use in the second one.
But apart from that, I think it's all fine.
