Its digitally temperature controlled and the heating elements are cheap on ebay and easily replaceable if they burn out. There are cheaper Hot Air only ones too with ends included.

They are clocked down enough so that the power draw is within usb spec if we could get these ASICs on a larger board like the BE Blades I imagine that the room for overclocking would be way above what can be done with these usb sticks.
