Yah, I originally thought "heat", but:

	(a) there was plently of airflow (i.e. nothing was anywhere
	    near the exhaust vents, and air was moving out of the
	    vent near the cpu)

	(b) it really wan't all that hot.

Well, for whatever price, I want something that just doesn't randomly
lose after being powered on for 6 hours :-/  Like, I knew the performance
wasn't going to be good (and didn't expect excellent performance for $800),
but I _do_ expect a reasonable amount of reliability.
