Mine has been fine. I haven't been using my computer for heavy tasks though. I'd stay cautious though since it is an enclosed space.

I had a constant problem with this computer overheating, even tried a HUGE cooler on the cpu, didn't help much. I have this cooler on two of my computers and I've had no problem with overheating whatsoever. I play all my games, FPS, Racers, etc., at highest settings and no problems. Wouldn't build a new computer without one.

I have not had a problem with over heating or randomly turning off. But I do keep it off the floor and blow the dust out once a week. Mine does randomly stop receiving input from my monitor I think Cuz it is a cheep 10 yr old HP monitor.

I've never had any problems with my computer overheating. The bottom of my computer has a lift to it on the bottom of one side. So that keeps it from laying flat & allows for ventilation anyway. Not sure if that helps any.

Have not had an overheating issue. Can turn on turbo fan if you do. I use mine for automotive test equipment so it sits on cooler metal cart tops or travels with me and is used on auto floors, dashes, seats, and fenders. Probably the time in service is much shorter than gaming is for you.

The Exhaust vent is in a very good spot on this computer in my opinion. It would be very hard to plug this vent accidentally. The warm air exits in the middle under the monitor towards the screen side. I have done a lot of gaming and so far have not noticed any excessive heat.

I haven't experienced any heat issues. I have an Intel i5 3570k overclocked to 4.2gHz being cooled with a the Antec Kuhler single rad closed water cooling system venting out the top. I swapped the fan out for a pressure optimized Noctua. My suggestion is to not try to air cool your CPU with this case. I'm also running two GTX 660s and an EVGA 750w PSU. The PSU vents out the bottom of the case, so it doesn't really matter that its covered. Its just more aesthetically pleasing. Just be sure to set it on a hard surface and not carpet or else it's going to suffocate. Worth mentioning that this case runs decently quiet with the stock fans as well.

I wish I could help you more on this question but heres my answer. I have a monitor, just one on the desk top, keyboard and modem, the unit seems to be very stable and solid, had the desk for about a year with no problems at all. I hope this helps you a bit. Jeff

I just received this item today and I've been running it all day for the last 6 hours. As to how far in temperature does it drop, I don't know. I do know that the bottom of the lap top is not hot yet. In fact, it isn't even warm. Before I bought this, I was running an Antec fan with my laptop, which also kept the pc from running hot. So, as far as a cooling fan goes, I'd say this Logitech lapdesk is as comparable, if not better than just a cooling fan. The great sound from the speakers and it being a lapdesk are great additions, if you're looking for those niceities. As I said, I already had a good working cooling fan for my laptop, which was considerably cheaper than this lap desk is. I bought this for the speakers so I can watch movies, etc. The cooling fan is a plus for me, as is the lap desk. I don't have to worry about a hot pc on my lap anymore, not being able to hear movies and don't have to use a book to set my laptop on. If you're looking for an all in one unit with cooling a priority, I see no reason not to purchase this item. Of course, the price is a high right now. I paid $59.99 last week at Amazon and this week it has jumped nearly 20 bucks. Check around, or set an Amazon alert to see when the price goes down. Best Buy also had it on sale last week for $59.99, so I'm sure sale prices will come and go. Of course, if you just want a stand alone cooling fan, those are much cheaper. I paid around $29.99 for mine from Amazon. Hope this helps you out.

No it's not possible, the computer cabinet is needed for support. However this causes the computers to get really warm because they are close to each other, I bought a fan and it's working just fine. Hope this helps. I love the desk.

I have this PC in a small office type room. There is no problem with the heat generation. I don't notice any heat build up.

One warning on this desk. After we assembled it, the CPUs got very hot inside the small enclosures. We took off the front (locking) doors and the CPUs are OK now. But this set up doesn't have enough air circulation for CPUs. They should make large holes in the sides for better air flow.

No! It hasn't! Extremely hot without a Fan, I must mod a Fan for him:( (it must be if you want your hdd working 24/7). Anyway It's almost beautiful on the tablet with an MacPC :)

Have not had a problem with overheating. The portion of the case that attaches to the base of the computer has a gap built in to allow for venting on the sides.

I have read users complaining of heat, both here and on the Apple site - I have not experienced such a problem - The TC gets warm, but it isn't extreme heat, if you ask me. My placement is a glass shelf, in an entertainment system with about six inches of space above it, open on one side, 5 inches of space back side, 2 inches of space with Mac Mini on other side. I haven't read how / where others experiencing heat problems have placed their units.
