Thanks.  I am considering running a long USB cable, with appropriate
repeaters.  However, if the heat from the unit continues to be a
factor I would much rather have it in my basement.  Also, isn't it
just as likely that the long USB run will introduce problems as it is
that the long component video will cause problems?  I mean, there's at
least one poster in this thread that is saying he's running 40+ foot
cables with just a splitter, and is not seeing any quality
degradation.
