[CUBE] so this is what silence is

[Stevie]

Hi Christian,

I did never take the exact temperature (does anyone do that at all?), 
but holding my hand over the chimney shows no more heat than before.
But till today I have not run my cube with two monitors as I intended.

But as Bryce told us, that seems not to be a problem.

Cheers - stevie
