I haven't tested this theory (in part because I've yet to commission
my recently-bought Cube as my 'A' machine) but it would seem to me that the
best means of removing heat from the Cube would be to speed-up the natural
channel of convection.
That is, if a fan's gonna' be on the top, it might be best to face
the thing /upwards/ to expel the heat, rather than pushing it back down.
Could even be thermostat-controlled, if we wanna' be geeky about things.
Just my newbie .02.
cheers,
