Becuase the case is designed for a motley old 68030/16 it's not exactly got much heat dumping capacity, mostly relying on 'naturally aspirated' convection cooling. There are very few, if any, vents on the power supply to pull head out of the case body, IIRC there are some but they pull heat off the hard disk (which in mine is a laptop IDE drive and 2 circuit boards!). Anyone familiar with IIcx/ci cases think of an effective heat-dissipation system, maybe to cool the CPU directly, then exhaust the hot air through the back panel? -- Mark Benson http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson -- 1st-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
