What about the Easy Bake Oven aspect of the case? I figure since all the sides of the case are going to be actively heated from components, what's going to keep the air in the case from heating up like an oven since there's no fans?

Also... what's to stop high heat loads from the CPU from killing off the cooling of the HD, and infact could reverse the flow of heat back to the HD through the heat pipes. (since heat can move both ways depending which side is cooler and which is hotter). Wont all components on a given heat plane in the case be the same temp at some point due to heat moving back and forth as everything reaches equilibrium?
