[geeks] Cerf Cube

[Ken Hansen]

My scan of the CerfCube showed that all the heat generated would collect inside the unit, and slowly escape out the *bottom* of the unit. This is a sub-optimal method of heat dissipation... Obviously done for aestetics, nothing else...

Besides, the CerfCube doesn't have a Keyboard/mouse port (well, it has USB...), but it as *no* native video support - why would you want that in an *appliance*.

This is not a desktop device, this is for embedded applications, where you deploy and forget (remote data collection, etc.)...

A) Not always a fan.  Sometimes just a large heat sink.

B) Vent the top of the box if need be.
