I am not sure about the Blizzard 030 cards (been a couple years since I had one), but I know my Paravision 030/50 card doesn't anywhere near hot enough to be of concern.

Sometimes I leave my 1200 on over night for a couple days in a row...or spend hour upon hours unzipping WHDLoad packages and the bottom of the trap door barely gets warm. No hotter than you would experience from a modern laptop. Actually probably cooler than many of them.

But I agree with Zetr0, perhaps a universal one that could be adapted to fit 030/040 and 060 cards would be useful. Well, ones that have the cpu mounted on the bottom anyways.
