Well I tested your theory and you're right. Fans only came on when temps creeped up. I moved them to the front. Only access to air is the sides of the front panel hope that helps. Thanks for all the help. I admit I have a lot to learn still.
Got a tip for us?

I would have loved a Surface Book but that price... Happy with my ZenBook UX305.
I really want a ux305 they are very nice machines, However, do you know how well they run Linux?I would have loved a Surface Book but that price... Happy with my ZenBook UX305.
I waited for the MBP release, and then decided to try something new. Bought a refurbished XPS 15 from the Dell Outlet and so far (2 days) have been very pleased with it.
My motherboard died so I decided to ditch Gigabyte and go back to EVGA. I also got the chance to take some higher quality pictures:
No idea unfortunately as I use Windows 10 but I'm sure it will run ok. The 3200x1800 resolution is fantastic though.

This so reminds me of the days I used to build my own desktops and gaming machines.

I stand corrected. Now the WebOS is in a fridge (pending). Sad cause Palm could've had 3 great hits early on:
PalmOS ... Cobalt (implementing all the great stuff Sony brought to PalmOS in colour) and of course WebOS. but alas off topic.
hey villicodelirant ... is that a Surface Book on the left powering an extended desktop on the left LCD, but is the Surface Pro on the right wireless mirroring/extending on the right LCD?!
Nothing fancy for me at this time.

Recently got a new desk (Sauder Shoal Creek Executive Desk I picked up on sale from Office Depot) and a new display - Dell U2715H - so I thought I'd post my setup since things were looking clean and orderly.
I apologize for the photo quality...but you get the idea.
On the left and right of the 27 is a Dell 2007WFP. Under the desk is a Dell XPS running Windows 10 Pro from a i7-2600 @ 3.0GHz and 16GB of RAM and 250GB SSD (plus some other storage).
