    Hi,
    Just wondering if anyone else noticed this? I felt the logo where it says Alienware just above the hinge and under the monitor and it's surprisingly hot!
    Figured it could be caused by the light (was on red at the time), and decided to turn it off. Few minutes later, no heat!
    Anybody else have this?

    Mine's idle right now, surfing the web at a lean 800Mhz (2630QM) and cool to the touch.
