I really don't need 2 screens especially since im running the 30" =p. What are yall opinions with the macbook pro closed? i noticed that it gets really hot and the only fan i see is under screen which i guess is closed off when my screen is closed! i hate to accumulate dust on my screen but then again i dont want it to over heat, what do you guys do as for the set up? Im digging my mighty mouse and new wireless keyboard!
Got a tip for us?

I don't know about it being designed to run closed, but it doesn't seem like Apple minds if you run it closed. I mean, they tell you how to get it running when the lid is closed.

I run mine in clamshell all the time.
The laptop display is actually more distracting that anything...
I really wish someone could get the MBP running right with two WUXGA panels. I would be in heaven...

ok so another question, i run my computer closed. when i get up for class and my mbp is sleep mode,i unplug the computer monitor cord and pop it in my backpack. This causes me to get to class and when i open the lid it seems the computer doesnt respond to the opening. Thus have to do a hard shut down with the button. What can i do to prevent this and to also keep it in easy to use shape
