@AsRock - Is that a laptop cooler on top of your receiver?

I only noticed because I'm in the same boat.Yes lol, summers on it's way and flipped the 220mm fan so it sucks air from the unit although the unit already has it's own 120mm fan sucking air out it's just i thought it was not enough and wanted to got a wider area and not just the front right side of it..
Main thing now it's stays real cool. I used to use it under the PS3 but as seen as we don't use that much i thought what the hell.

The fans placement is relative to where all the hot bits are. The digital I/O board and the amplifiers are the hottest bits and that's what the fan is directly aimed at. A fan or two on the sides seems like a good idea but it'd need to be decently powerful to make a difference and power means noise. I never thought about putting a fan underneath the unit but it wouldn't cool the digital I/O board and that bit gets very hot.Sweet, but why would you want to blow just inside the unit ?. It's much easier to clean the side\under vents than having to take the unit apart.
Mines on a USB hub so only 5v but still does the job.. Be cool to pick on of those thermal switches well a correctly working one anyways.

Dust hasn't been an issue. The fan is rarely on, regardless of whether that stupid thermal switch is working.
The fans placement is brutally effective, within a couple minutes the whole thing is quite cool. I still haven't come up with a proper solution for the thermal switch/thermostat, apart from using a microcontroller .
EDIT: Errr-- I simply must remember to google things http://www.apogeekits.com/thermostat.htm
