The fan hasn't even gone on on mine yet. Ambient temp is around 60 degrees Farenheight and I've been ripping music, burning CDs, and running Folding@Home since I got this baby.
I'm on a flat wooden desk surface, and can see a half a millimeter or so of daylight underneath the 15Al. The speaker grilles are oversized, probably so's they can function as air inlets, for the computer vents heat out the back and up the screen, where I can't feel it unless I feel around for it. I don't know how they did it - the keyboard is quite cool to the touch, but the air rising off the hinge-area is very warm. Wonder what temp makes the fans kick on.

I have only heard my fan once. . . the first night, was installing stuff and messing around for 6 hours.
I usually use it on a wooden desk.

No, no, it's 60 degrees in the room. The air rising off the back of the computer is maybe 95 or 100 degrees F.
