Exclamation My new noisy heat generator

Well I certainly won't be cold throughout the winter in my house! The amount of heat this thing generates is amazing. After 2 hours of play last night, both the box and the power brick were very toasty! In fact the amount of heat blowing out the back of the box almost equals my "real-fire" electric heater which is a little worrying. I think users need to ensure, more than ever, that there is good ventilation round the box

It's also very very noisy with the fan & the disc spinning so it's not really a good option for watching movies with quiet bits..

my PSU barely gets warm after hours of use here, but PGR does make the console sound like an aeroplane is in the room

they must all differ by the sounds of it, awesome!

My PSU doesn't get that warm, and the heat pouring out from the fans at the back arn't like an electric fire.

They just get a little warm, and seem to stay at that temp.
