RE: HotPi
Well after many hours of playing - I ended up by just attaching the 25mm fan (21db) to the 3.3v GPIO pins and let the fan run all the time.

It's not noisy (even when nothing is playing), doesn't consume any CPU and keeps my RPi at around 30 degrees.

I did run it at 5v but it was a bit too noisy when nothing way playing.

Would like to see what the difference would be without the heatsinks but alas they are now stuck on - doh.

So: Get some heatsinks and a fan - and sorted!!!!
