How to recognize a thermally advantaged chassis

Thermally advantaged chassis:  A chassis that has been designed to meet the required thermal specification of a 38oC fan inlet temperature for the Intel® Celeron® D processor in the 775 package.

A thermally advantaged chassis can be recognized by a hollow tube attached to the side panel called a chassis air guide which has flared ends.  This tube will funnel cool air towards the processor passively, without fans.  It's reliance on the internal system fans to guide air across the processor and other system components is achieved through a ventilation hole within the side panel that is required in order to function properly.
