There is a HP4020i sitting in the office next to me, in a standard ATX minitower with lousy cooling, and a PPro 200 and a 2GB Barracuda for extra heat. The HP4020 sits right above the harddrive (floppy between) and there is no space for air-circulation above (another CD-drive there). No problem whatsoever; I've run about 10 CDs in sequence on it without it overheating. YMMV. P.S. That box is running NT4.0, not FreeBSD - I haven't tested the drive on FreeBSD yet. D.S.
