[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1807908, member: 56231"] From a mid-2010 Mini owner - I raise the unit slightly on either a synthetic rubber pad, or on two narrow lengths of bamboo, because some high-demand apps like games get the fan very agitated, especially on a hot day. Air movement beneath the aluminium casing does help. As you're probably aware, the hottest part of the unit is along the rear upper edge, and above the audio outlet in particular. Someone else has likely said it already, but be sure to keep that vent slot at the back clear of obstruction. If all else fails, purchase a small desk fan and direct cooling air on to the Mini.
