Computer next to the fire place.

[manny_c44]

Seeing as the fall/winter seasons are just around the bend, and my newest PC is situated just feet from my hearth, I have a question: do you think I run the risk of overheating?

My set-up (2500+barton, 512MBDDRPC3200,2Harddisks,9600PRO) has absolutely no fans besides the ones on the CPU, GPU, and Power Supply.

ya, either move it... or move it. AND DON'T PUT PAPER NEAR IT, PUT THE PRINTER FAR AWAY!

If I were you I would definetly move it...Why have it there if you don't have to? It may not necessarily cause overheating, though it certainly might, but in that situation I would feel safer having moved it in any case.

...but there's nothing like sitting next to the fire on a cold January day.

And I had an older computer in the same spot and nothing happened to it.

Wow i would strongly suggest modding some fans into that case. At least one in the front and one in the back, cause thats no good at all.

why da ****do have your computer near the fire? its so damn unneccesary... If you want to feel warm on a januari day, buy some glue and sniff on it untill you feel that your beginning to get warm...

1. id reccomend immedatley installing atleast 1 ehaust and 1 intake fan.

2. its not problem unless you have a fire going.....at witc point i would reccomend moving your computer away from the fireplace even if you arnt using it.
