Neither does anyone else here:)  Technical fields generally use Metric but
everyone else uses English system.  I'm sure architects have a field day with
this.

The basic problem is you just don't have any way of knowing if the PSU is
going to fail due to overheating.  PSUs are designed to have air moving
over/through them and I don't think convection is going to provide any
significant air flow until the temps get quite high.  Also Myth is going to
be putting an almost continuous load on the system.  You might get away with
it but personally I'd feel better with a quiet fan on the PS exhaust.
