Anyone has concern with the temperature of the MBA in clamshell mode while connecting to an external display with full HD resolution?

It concerns me sometimes that I would opened it up to ventilate the area near the hinge on the display. It feels hot.
 
I'd be interested to see what the temps were like on the Air when it's driving everything through the Thunderbolt port. I guess we'll see when the TB displays start shipping.



Additional Thought: I'm wondering if the TB display would take video from my PC. I've got a 5870 in my PC rig, that has a Displayport out on the card. Of course I'd have to get a DP>mDP adapter for it--but it would make the decision on purchasing it a lot easier for me ^_^
