Heat issues - Bottomless + DIY Filter

A fan would introduce more noise, which I think is why they want to cool down their minis (because the fans are running constantly). What would probably work, although I don't know the technical name for them, are those inserts that you see in hot/cold coolers that either keep picnic food hot or cold. Placing one of those on the mini should absorb the heat like a sponge, especially if you cooled it ahead of time. That would be noiseless and functional.

What's a 'pelitier'?

Tec's or pelitiers as there known are thermoelectric coolers. When a current is passed through them heat is moved from one side to the other giving you an extremely hot side and a very cold side. Good in theory but for computer use condensation issues crop up.

Ah yes, that's how heated and cooled car seats work
