I may try to rig up a quiet 120mm fan behind them to try yo keep them cooler. Or, if it gets really hot (today is supposed to be hotter than yesterday) then I may be forced to turn on the A/C and that will test my theory...
Bummer. The screens do generate some heat on their own. After it sat in the shade for a while, the screen started working again. |
Maybe you could just give them little hats?
