Let's take all the heat issues from the traschan pro, strap on a 5k display and put it into a consumer-level shell. Yeah... heat will be a problem.

  The "consumer-level" shell is a 27" Aluminum heatsink.

    You mistyped "frying pan".

    Flat aluminum is not a heatsink, you need surface to shed heat, which is why heatsinks generally have fins and the like. Flat aluminum sheds heat better than plastic but it's not very good at it.

      > Flat aluminum sheds heat better than plastic but it's not very good at it. That's why it is a 27" heatsink instead of a 2" one. Most of the heat is going to be moved out by the dual fans anyway. The Aluminum will dissipate what it picks up from the moving air before it leaves the chassis by the side vents.
