Quite likely!  I'm surprised though, at the hoops through which I had
to jump.  For a system being marketed for HDTV, isn't 1920x1080 at 60fps 
pretty much, err, required?  I selected the SP8000E so that I could
watch videos at this resolution.

I might invest in a cooler-still case, and see how that goes.  Right now
I'm just using a mini-case from iboxpc, it has no fans.  The HD temperature
sits around 48C (~118), and up to 52 (~125) when playing video.
