Wow, you are correct, I just checked the Benchmark site, and they claim 8 watts typical, 18 watts max. It isn't quite literally too hot to touch, but it is warm and close to too hot to hold. I had a handful of old CPU finned cooler and scattered them around the top just to add some surface area. My SlimServer is in a full sized tower case, with fans. It is almost silent, and too far into the cold dark basement to worry about :-) It also has a plastic window on the side and colored fans with LEDs and a cool cathode light as part of its prior life. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
