Thanks for this project, this is interesting but what about heat of console?

I haven't done the tests yet due to lack of motivation, but the idea is that the back panel will be plastic, so the heat would only affect a small metal area where the air comes out. Thanks for mentioning that; it's something else to keep in mind.
