[CUBE] PL 1.2 Review

[Bill Fox]

Good point. In the alternative state it is not exactly cool. The main 
vent effluent temp is 85 deg F vs 98 when playing RtCW and the rear 
vent effluent temp is 114 deg F vs 132 when playing RtCW. The ambient 
temp in the room is about 72 deg F. Obviously the CPU and GPU are still 
"working".
