Im looking for suggestions on how to cool my 520ST. I like to keep my computers turned on 24 hours a day, but I am nervous about doing this on my ST, as it gets real hot after a few hours (it also starts to get that overheated electronic smell. You know what I mean, a coupla notches below what an exploding transistor smells like :-) Anyways. I could probably put it in a PC clone case, with modifications, as that has more than enough room for a fan. But I dont want to do that if I dont need to. The PC clone cases take up an awfully lot of room, and the ST case is nice and small. Anyone have any ideas? Id like to keep it as "bulkless" as possible...
