[CUBE] Radeon 9000 retail?

[Thubten Kunga]

Thank you. That's exactly what I was trying to understand. I too am 
worried about the convection cooling as I prepare to run the core 
outside the plastic case in order to hook up a DVR-10 to the optical 
connectors. Good idea. I hadn't though of a couple of short 2x4s 
before. Obvious. Perfect.
