That handle for the Mac Pro is really great. I also like the idea of using
it as a heat sink to tilt the machine. I currently have the fan pad and it
works okay but would not be great to lug around. I like to use a mouse
versus the track pad for some of the work I do. Is there a bluetooth or
wireless mouse I could use with the Mac Pro without using a bluetooth
keyboard?

The one thing I note here is that if I use the laptop as the main computer,
I will still need to invest in some peripherals to make it viable. What do
you use at home to hook all these peripherals into so you don¹t have to keep
pulling the cords in and out each time you use it at home. I have 2
printers, 1 scanner, 2 extra hard drives, DSL router and wireless router.

here is your handle

The only time mine gets real hot is when I have been doing a lot of video
work or I am using Fusion a lot.
Both really use the CPU so I would expect that.
Now heat is a subjective term so what is hot to one is not hot to someone
else.
Two items to help.
software:

Fan control

Fan pad

I use the FanControl software when it gets hot for me. I really don't want
to 
drag around the Fan pad.
