Where my computer sets is completely closed in so no air could get to it. I drilled three large holes in the back of the desk for air holes and picked up a small four inch fan from Radioshack and the fan pulls air through the holes. The fan sets on top of the computer. I plugged the fan into the power strip that the computer is plugged into so I can turn off everything at the same time. This has worked great for me, keeps the computer cool. ----- Original Message ----- From: "aiden gardiner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, July 14, 2008 2:12 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Computer Over Heating.
