[Cube] Video card

[Rick Mansfield]

If I can jump into the conversation here, let me ask about the  
heating issue.

I've got a new-to-me Cube and would like to upgrade both the  
processor and the video card. I've wondered if heat might be an issue  
since I don't want to shorten the life of what is already a seven  
year old computer.

What is the overall consensus  regarding the heat issue? Does it  
matter? Are there any external means of keeping a Cube cooled?


Thanks,
Rick
