My 1/170 w/ two 9 gig drives and a creator is exponentially cooler than
my old SS20 w/ dual HS 150's and the same disks. My bedroom was noticably
cooler after getting rid of the SS20.
Does your 140 have a fan (mine does)? For whatever engieering/design reason,
Sun stopped using fans on the Ultra1 processors towards the end of production.
I'm not sure if that fact has any bearing on how much heat they put out...
