This is one of the reasons why I don't run older hardware full time.
Try 2 486Dx266 CPU Full height with dual full height 600Mb SCSI hard
disks - they made the room unbearably hot in summer.

FWIW, the modern soldier's (2010) electronic support package is hoped to

(<2.25kg) fuel cell that lasts 72 hours.
