    Well for those of you still having big heat issues on the C90S, after great success with my first mod that dropped my temps down to the 50's, I went to work again for a 2nd mod to even further reduce temps.

    The idea here is to displace the heat and increase ventilation.

    Those of you with really hot units will no longer have a reason to complain because this mod actually works better the hotter your unit runs.

    This is the concept:

    As you can see you actually can hot swap (no pun intended) the keyboard out for the grill plate and cook up dinner or lunch. If you use a external keyboard (I recommend bluetooth) you can go play a game and cook dinner at the same time. Its great for kids and the wife will love it when your actually cooking dinner instead of just playing games all the time.

    Enjoy your new "George Asus Foreman" grill and make me proud!

    Don't forget you can use the area over the hard drive to cook your mashed potatoes! :D

    But will it grill terrorists until they reveal the secret location of their secret underground secret lair of secret evil?

    Truly stunning, Vicious. Maybe you can adapt the concept for some of the G1 owners around here? I'm sure some might find it a useful way to harness all their excess heat output :rolleyes:.

    Now you just need to add a docking port for an Ipod and you would be all set.

    (cant stand going to the store and seeing more radios designed for an ipod and alarm clocks than just plain ones, so i guess we have to conform)
