[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1328475, member: 56379"] You hit the "nail on the head"!:) @caddydaddy: Like "chas_m" mentioned...when you said that your MacBook Pro was "left on" for 72 hours in the case you made for it...the MacBook Pro wasn't really "on"...it was in sleep mode (which would generate basically no heat). "Clamshell Mode"...is when you run your laptop with the lid closed & attached to an external monitor. In this setup...the computer is running (and generating heat) just like it would if you were using the MBP's display. So if you ever decided to run your MBP in "Clamshell Mode"...it probably wouldn't be a great idea to have it in the "book"-case you made for it...with the book-case closed. - Nick [/QUOTE]
