  I've left my 1040 on almost continiously for the last 3+ years.
 (Maybe that's why I haven't had any power supply problems??  :^)

  It does get somewhat warm, but I'm just careful to not let anything
block the air vents on top just to the left of center (right over the
power supply).  You can find out where this is just by letting your ST
warm up for a few hours, and then feeling the diagonal grill on top for
the 4 inch wide area that's warm.  Keep this area (and 2 inches to either
side) cleared and a lot of problems related to power supply failure should
be a thing of the past.
