Its real. Broadcast equipment dies very fast if they overheat as they run at 100% all the time. When I went to Tuner broadcast in London, they said they have 3 minutes to get the backup AC system working if the main goes down before the equipment overheats and dies. clyde46
Wow, had no idea... also, must say I expected a more exotic cooling solution than a fan with a warning sticker! :P
But I find it really suprising how consoles, closed and highly regulated systems never included any failsafes to prevent hardware damage caused by overheating.
