The fans and power supply I wouldn't worry about. But if your PC is getting warm enough to generate enough heat that shutting it down causes temperature to drop either you have one hell of a system or bigger issues. I have a laser printer, 2 laptops on 24/7, 2 LCDs and more in one room and it doesn't effect the temp at all. now given I don't have a multimedia or gaming powerhouse I have quite a bit of equipment in a smaller area.</p></blockquote><p></p>
