      This thing looks pretty awesome visually, and I love the price but there's a lot of complaints of heat.

      As to the price for a 1Gb it is very good, as 512Mb's had been $5-10 back in April/May time frame; while this 1Gb version demanded $30 more on top of that.
      As to the heat comment, that's some what true, however the fan is almost completely devoid of noise, so you can bump it some and improve heat pipe efficiency (cooling) and still be nowhere near the reference style cooler vacuum. Check it in these reviews.

      As to what heat comment? I think you have been caught up in another imaginary conversation with yourself again, no one has mentioned a heat. Thanks for the links to reviews youve discovered but most of us have a computer.
