just having it on my desk today while working on the customizing of visuals, and startupanimations, the bottom was so warm it scared me.. what is the NORMAL temp there, is something maybe happening, i don't remember it getting this warm before.. not inside in 80 degree temps.. and summer is coming, 115 degrees soon.. ughh.

Yeah, and have you noticed that when it's inserted into the car mount that half of the vent holes become blocked?

well tonight i rerouted te ide cable from behind the vfd to on top of the drives, and it seems to have dropped my temp about 9 degrees c
