I was advised to leave the lid of the Powerbook open, all the way to use the second screen for palettes and toolbars, or at least partially (about halfway) to allow the heat to disipate (from the CPU) not the monitor. With the lid closed the heat will rise right into the screen. Made sense so at least halfway it was.
Sounds sensible, however, I use a 12V brushless fan (taken from a PC case) running with a 9V transformer = silent.
It faces the back of the PB and the PB has a couple of Mac IIcx rubber blocks (keep it in the family eh) at each back corner.
It keeps my otherwise rather hot PB very nice and cool as the air circulates under the machine.
Having the lid open shouldn't be a problem as I want the ext. screen quite high to eliminate back problems.
I may stick with the PB keyboard as it is rather nice...
