Interesting. I am curious as well. This is how they should have been designed. All of my cases are closed and the PSU turned inside, thus blowing the hot air inside the unit.

ATX PSUs vent hot air out the back (where the plug socket resides).

Yes so the psu was pulling hot air out of the unit. i.e. a hot box test. see jonnyguru.com

not easy on a psu being asked to run at full capacity 24/7/365.

this new idea will make the chips run hotter and the psu will be a little bit cooler. since it will draw in cooler outside air.

TO all this is an under-speced psu for the s-2. you need a decent 1200 watter to run 24/7/365 with this unit.

you guys can look back at my posts here

I see. Thanks a lot for clarifying and informing me, but the air inside is still hotter because of the modules, would rather it pulled from the room instead. Was hoping I would not have to buy another PSU since I don't plan over clocking. Giving it one last go, hopefully they run for more than 12 hours today before upgrading.
