Please a clear statement why this did not happen 2 years ago!

If everything seems to be a cooling problem, why weren't the capacitors mounted on the backside to make space for better standard coolers?
A clever user from Pegasosforum proved that it works:

A bit too much maybe...

I don't really understand why development stood still with Pegasos and why the 7447 "L", which seems to be a 22W max. part was chosen over the marginally more expensive "N" part with 11.5W max. in the first place if heat is indeed such a problem (which subsequently prevented Pegasos II from becoming the advertised fanless cool & quiet PPC vision).

The OSW might become the saving grace, but this is not a MorphOS machine and has to prove itself first.
