Actually, since I got the mini, I have supported it on rubber corks such as used to close up a home brewer's carboy. They give about an inch or a little more clearance underneath. A couple of weeks ago, I dusted off a chill pad and have it positioned under the mini with one of the fans directly beneath the center of the unit. I have not seen any need to turn the chill pad on, but would do so while compiling. Thanks for the reply. Good to see another mini geek out there. I got the unit with 8 GB Ram (which I purchased separately for about $50) am able to happily use pretty much the same setup as I had on my linux boxes (I.E. mutt, postfix, procmail, fetchmail, vim, MC). -- Tim tim at tee jay forty nine dot com or akwebsoft dot com http://www.akwebsoft.com _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
