Not really. Admittedly we're having fun taking the topic to a bit of an extreme. However, it IS an important topic to keep in mind. Manufacturers design their gear based on sufficient ambient cooling being available. Once equipment is placed within racks, cabinets, or other types of enclosures, sufficient ambient cooling is often NOT available and the air must be circulated somehow to compensate.
