RE: Re: What's the REAL story with LD11's and heat?

I think IIRC, the most I have in the one box is about ten, mixed AD and
LD's, though more LD11's than AD10's. There is heat there, but not much.
If you were putting a *lot* of modules in the one place you could always
fit a small fan to the case, even a PC case fan or two would do, link
these to an appliance module and put a Dallas stat in there and
ventilate as required, just a thought mind you if it was really a
problem.
