Have you ever noticed that furniture makers always make computer desks with those closed off little cubby holes for the tower? It’s about time someone told them computers need ventilation to work properly. I’ve seen countless computers overheat and die an untimely death due to this lack of understanding of simple common sense.

Computers have fans in them for a reason: air flow. They take cool air in and expel hot air, all the while keeping the internal case at a constant temperature, in theory. Most of the time though they run hot if they’re more than the little Wally-world special.

So, furniture companies, please remember to leave plenty of breathing room and exhaust ports for computers in your desks and nooks.
