Regardless of the particular scam - scam artists prey on people who are
foolish enough to believe that they will get something for nothing (or next
to nothing). The story is as old as time. PT Barnum certainly understood
human nature.

Is that a slot A Athlon? It MUST be used with a heat sink which straps onto
the processor module. Twin fans are built in which blow air through the heat
sink continually. Then you should have a case fan to pull the warmed air out
of the case. The armoir is probably a BAD idea. The power supply fan is nice
to keep the power supply from adding to the heat problems. But from your
description of the run-up I suspect that you do not have a heat sink with
fans attached to your processor module.
