No I didn't, but it's a great idea. That's something I can do when/if I get 
the next one in.

The units do run quite hot, in fact there are warnings on the device about 
the danger of burns from it !!!

The mains transfomer and rectifier diodes are encapsulated and there is a 
huge heatsink on the back in an effort to keep it a bit cooler.
