Other reasons include mechanical problems (i.e. you can rotate it past 70
deg only once - crack ! - oops), and heat distribution problems. Many
fanless medium power devices rely on the way they are supposed to be set
up to remove heat by convection. Change this and there may be a large
molten plastic blob waiting for you after a long hot weekend.
