[CUBE] Newly installed GeForce 3

[George Pepper]

Actually, that's one of the first things I noticed... While testing the 
card out with a DVD, I could "smell" the Cube's heat above the core 
vent... Didn't seem to be at any dangerous level though... I'll get 
some temp monitoring software...

Thanks, jj...
