- I have mine sitting on top of my two external drives and GVP controller. Some
- times it is almost cool and other times it gets fairly warm to the touch. A
- little like a power supply. But I assume, that this is normal. Well... go and
- touch a 80486 processor, when it has been doing some heavy math stuff! You
- can seriously burn your fingers on that sucker! My old 1200 bps modem also
- got quite warm (on the bottom only, since it has a plastic case, which doesn`t
- conduct heat so well)... and it never broke on me. Oh... and yes... my Supra
- is running 24 hours a day.
