The coil acts like an inductor. Six computers = high AC currents flowing in that coil = high Inductance. Imagin the magnetic field around that coil!!! The high current through the coil induces an EMF. This is what generates the heat. __________________ Lenovo ThinkPad T410 - i7 620M - 8GB RAM - Crucial M4 120GB SSD - 250GB 2nd drive - Intel HD 3000 GPU - 1440x900 - Windows 7/8 REMENIZ Computers
