[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1818970, member: 204485"] oxband, I can't imagine any case which would not retain [I]some[/I] heat. After all if you add a layer of insulative material around something that generates heat then some of the conducted heat that would have been lost via radiation and air movement will be retained. Having said that if the fan can cope with the additional load, if the environment you use it in is not too hot and you are still within the operating temp guidelines you should be fine. ie. 50-80deg Celsius Ideally a metal case would be best but I imagine most would be made of some type of plastic. Why do you need a case at all? Just curious. [/QUOTE]
