[QUOTE="toMACsh, post: 880933, member: 112842"] My Mini does generate lots of heat! I used to set it on top of my DSL modem/router, but when that went kaput after less than two years, I decided not to set it on the new one. (I hadn't really noticed the heat before.) After reading your post, I lifted the Mini and felt the desk under it. It's very hot, and the wood seems to be drying out. I decided to put a hot pad like you'd use for a hot pan on in the kitchen. The Mini does not seem to be hot on top. Of course, that's where the slot for inserting discs is located; just under the "lid". [/QUOTE]
