Just to settle any worries regarding heat... As you can see from the images below under idle and max load the chassis runs cool and at very similar temperatures to a desktop. In addition to this it runs quieter than a desktop because the power supply is fanless and external.

The temps are very good under load considering the fan speed was only at 49%.

I'd love to see the innards of this thing, the fans etc to see how it can run cool.

We apply Arctic Cooling MX-4 Extreme Thermal Compund on the CPU by default. It is cooled by a cooler based on Intel's standard mini-ITX specification similar to this:

There are two fans internally, one cools the CPU Heatsink (not 100% sure on size) and the other (40mm) is located above the motherboard. Apart from that, the only other fans are those on the GPU. Originally Posted by Teaz

If that's all, then that is real good temps.
