Simon,

My 137 runs okay, but yeah, it's a bit hot.  I tossed a zalman rc45 (the 
little 3-wire inline resistor they shipped with all their fans) into the 
line for the little 60mm fan, and it's now bearable (WAF++), but if it's 
still not acceptable later, I may look at a pabst or similar supplier of 
60mm fans and see if one'll fit.  Maybe adding a second fan would help 
too .. I forget:  is there a header on the board?

Either way, I figure I need to start watching the heat when I slide the 
250 into the box under the 350, make sure they don't cook on concurrent 
recordings.
