Very good point. I did intend that the case have a fan, though I did not state that. The C3 CPU does put out heat, and so the case will need to be ventilated or act as a heat sink. Idea: A mini-itx case mod to make it into a coffee mug warmer. Anybody good with CAD to sketch it out? What kind of heat sink should be used to draw heat away from the CPU and into the warmer plate.
BTW, the C3 comes in more versions than I was aware of, so CPUs that are slower and faster are available: http://www.mini-itx.com/faq.asp#Hardware7 And here are some examples of small cases for the mini-itx: http://www.mini-itx.com/store/systems.asp though I realize Abbott said he would build his own. --- Tim Fournet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I would think that even though it doesn't require a > fan, it probably > still requires some ventilation.
