As I stated the ambient is also very important here, plus never crowd the back of one of the "Stanley Steamers" (water pumpers) too lose to a wall they need breathing room. Apple even states the temp of 190 to 200 F is OK, but remember that's not 24/7. Also at idle mine draws 250 Watts, when burning 2 or more DVD's at a time I'm at 550 watts. The Quads had two Delphi units, one with a single pump and a dual pump, the duals did have some problems. I've only seen one Panasonic for the Quad.
