- 1. "More efficient cooling."
- Well, not exactly more efficient, but more even. It allows cooler air to
- hit more of the important components rather that heat up first while
- passing through the PS.
-
- 2. "avoids getting dust." NOT. Because the air sucks in all the other
- vents, dust gets on -everything-. Pulling the air in only one location
- gives you the opportunity to filter the air.
-
- Notice, however, that Commodore made no provision for such a filter. That's
- because the designed is for air to blow out the PS and be pulled in through
- all the vents.
