-
- There is only one problem that I can see with the vertical expansion and
- nobody has mentioned it.
-
- Where is the powersuppy in relation to the componenents? Where is it when
- the machine is extended up? Where is the heat from the PS going? UP!
-
- I have my A3k desktop on end so the PS is at the top. This allows the
- fan in the PS to pull the heat from the whole machine up and out.
-
- The present Walker Prototype (as described) may have massive heat probs
- especially if it is expanded with today's super hot hard drives and CPUs.
-
- Just a thought.
