Just to let everyone know, after monitoring the temperature of the the
PSU and the air emanating from it, and seeing that they were booth
essentially room temperature, I removed the fan (realizing the safety
implications astutely pointed out by w_tom).

The PSU is a /little/ warm to touch now, but there's very little heat
actually radiating from it, and it's still completly comfortable to
hold. It's been on and powering the device for over a week now, so I
think it'll continue to be fine.

Thanks for the advice,
Jamie.

SOunds good then. Were you to increase the load, you might want to
recheck the temperature. BTW, some PSUs have thermistors to monitor
temperature and shut down when overheat conditions are detected, but
not all do this. (Bet your's does not... g)
