Older TPs get warm too. At least, my 560x gets a little warm around the
keyboard, and especially at the panel directly over the hard drive
(duh). I wish the 560x had better cooling - my keyboard is refusing to
work properly, and I'm pretty sure it's a heat thing (it runs 24/7).
Thank goodness for external keyboards. Otherwise I'd never be able to
start my machine - my screen saver password used one of the keys that is
currently not working. Last time it was worse - the power-on password
couldn't be entered. But I digress.

P.S. Anyone got a 560 type keyboard for parts?
