   I run a Bulletin Board system - an application which keeps my Apple IIe
running around the clock.  Nearly all of my slots are full, and
consequently it gets very warm inside the computer.
   I do have a System Saver Fan installed, but the internal temperature
still seems very high.  I know that cooler temperatures are better for
electronics in general, and thus want to cool down my computer as much
as possible.
   I'm considering: Removing the power supply from the IIe, placing it
outside the computer, grounding it to the IIe base pan, and installing
another fan or two in the nice open area that will be left in the back of
the IIe.
   Has anyone tried this?  I welcome any thoughts or comments.
