Yes, as long as you shut the machines down every 6 to 12 months and take
them completely apart, including the power supplies, to clean them out.
Airflow restrictions are the #1 problem with any electronic device
consuming significant ammounts of energy.

The problem compounds with smaller and smaller base units - the
lunchbox-style cases aren't the best for cooling (especially of the
internal hard drive), so they do need a full clean out done regularly.

Regards,

Craig.
