	I have a Pacific Peripherals Subsystem 500 with an a2090 disk
controller in it.  I've been noticing that after being on for about
8-9 hours straight that the subsystem is getting rather hot.  Seeing that
my amy is right on top I'm assumming that it too is getting warmer than
it's meant to be.

	Is this a problem that I should correct with a fan?  I don't want to
burn up my amy or my a2090 but don't want to add a fan if it's not
necessary.  I want to add 2meg of memory at some point and think that
this will only get worse.   Do any of the other card cages come with fans
and if so why doesn't this one?

	Also, what other card cages are available for the 500 now, what do
they cost and what kind of luck have you had with them?
