We want to feel the breeze coming off our electronics.  I expect my entertainment center to cause a damn mini hurricane when I am running all of that stuff! :angry:

Obviously, by his namesake, we can infer that bkenobi went into thermal engineering in order to design thermal detonators. I'd be careful about that next electronic device you purchase. :P

Bkenobi can't do anything to me. I live in a moon-sized space station with only 1 small vulnerability.

Out of the cabinets that I have had, only two have had fans -- a bartop and a homebrew Midway-styled cocktail, both due to heat from the monitors. No other cocktails and none of the uprights have ever needed a fan.

Ever hear that joke about consultants?

A consultant is hired to fix an expensive piece of machinery.  He examines the setup for a bit and after 10 minutes takes out a marked and puts an 'X' on a part.  He turns to the manager and says "replace this part."  A couple days later the bill for the consultant shows up.  The manager is outraged to see a single figure of $50,000!  He calls up the consultant and asks for an itemized bill.  A couple days later a new bill shows up with items called out.

Marker..............................$1
Knowing where to place the mark.....$49,999

The bill was promptly paid.

 ;D

Anyway, I would love to do that with fans, too!
