Lol yes it gets hot but you dont need the clockport adaptor unless you are using a fast ata mk III in there as well as a clock port card and a rom riser.but with only the bvision and bppc you would be fine off (dont know about the 040s tho)they are hotter than the 060s way hotter too.
I would say the tower would be the better way to go but for me the 1200 has to keep its housing "looks way better"
