Yep, I did them at the EE shop and it was a cause of some major EE/Delta
friction.  Once the fans were installed, the heat related problems went
away.

Incidently, I've worked on some Z-29 terminals and thay also had heat
related problems with random characters in screen locations.  Changing the
video RAM to CMOS and putting a heatsink on the RAM chip got rid of this
problem.  So Beehives aren't the only terminal with thermal problems.
