[QUOTE="PoloMint, post: 96495, member: 175235"] You can either put a small fan in the back of the box (where the cam slot cover is) or mount a heatsink/fan combination on the main processor. Heatsink and fan combinations specifically put together can be bought online for the Panasonic 30, but if you have a 486 or Pentium 1 heatsink and fan lying around you can just use that, alternatively (and if you want something new and clean) a chipset or graphics card heatsink and fan would also work. A fan on its own is not as effective as a heatsink and fan on the processor. Use some sticky thermal compound to attach it (can be bought from PC suppliers) as long as you don’t shake the box around it should be OK. Alternatively use some normal thermal compound (Artic sliver type stuff, or cheaper generic ones) and hold the heatsink down with a tiny blob of superglue in diagonal corners – that method is much more permanent.
