That sounds kind of unnecessary to me.

My //e has been running non-stop for the last four and a half years and I've
never had a heat problem.  At one time or another I've had all the slots
filled and have had a meg-a-ram on my original Ramworks card.

I do have a Kensington System Saver and all the holes in the back filled with
their covers or else have the connectors screwed down tight to keep air from
coming in from the back.  The airflow comes through the holes in the bottom
and on the right side of the case.

I have had two power supplies go south though.  According to my dealer I'd
over extended them with all the cards I kept plugged into the machine.  No bid
deal though:  Applecare for three years on a //e is the price of one Apple
power supply.
