   Depends on what you have inside it and the temperature in the room it's   
   standing.   
      
   A Matrix-card gets quite hot, a Crazy Dots not.   
      
   I have a quite recent Fujitsu-SCSI in the TT which does not make much   
   noise, but needs extra cooling (also silent with a simple resistor ~8V).   
      
   I've removed the PSU completely and use an old external AT-PSU whose noise   
   you hardly hear. A better solution might be to install a control for the   
   speed of the fan.   
      
   Without PSU, HD and any card a TT should run without cooling.
