blocking "air leaks" shouldn't blow anything up ..
	- might make the system quieter though

- blocking a 4" fan for say 30sec - minute might cause the cpu temp
  to rise  and maybe even automatically shutdown the box

"air leaks" should not be an issue ... unless the airflow is marginal
to being with ??

	- and what was the cpu temp with the normal airflow ??
	( sounds like it was running higher than it should be ? )

just wondering ...
