Hi Brian

I did see your mod while looking around for info.

I'd prefer not to mod the soundbox so my options seem to be your 
internal backplane load board ( 
http://www.nextcomputers.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3616&highlight=load+board 
) or maybe a small load board inline to the monitor cable?

It looks like ambient cooling is sufficient for the version shown here?

Thanks very much for the excellent info you've posted so far!
