That would have been the CPU cabinet for the C240 (which is twice as wide
as the C220¹s CPU cabinet. The C240¹s CPU consumes - i.e. converts to heat
- about 20 kilowatts of power, so that would indeed have created a hotspot
in a computer room. It will surely create a hotspot in my barn!

I¹m getting a C240 two weeks from now. Between the C220, the C240, and the
two C1s, I hope to be able to  get at least one Convex up and running
ConvexOS.
