Dave- the color temp scale is relative -so nothing was very hot. The utility room was about 55 F and the  Classics only 70-75 F.  Probably only 700 watts or so coming through the Classic on the left then as it was late in the day and the one on the right was already in the shade.

CC- The top left is a network router. I got the E4 from Tequipment.net. With discount for EEVblog forum members it was $940 delivered - Merry Xmas to me! 

I'm loving the cold temps- in the low teens (F) here last night - will be ice skating on our lake soon!

passing it on is part of the tradition, I had many mentors back then, now it's payback time, my best apprentice is going for his contractors lisence , he did 6 years with me in construction, now it's his turn. I am keeping solar and wind as a hobby, not going to work there, but I will share and help from my experience as much as I can.

Interesting. I have anecdotally noticed that the upper left side of the classic is the hotest part. Considering the fets are on the right, not sure whether theres other hot components on the left, or whether the heat sinking is just less different there.

I think the Classic on the left runs hotter on the left side due to its proximity to the Outback inverter. It doesn't actually touch the inverter so it doesn't benefit from it's heatsinking but it is close enough to impede airflow.   Not a concern for me since even in the depths of summer, my utility room ambient temp never gets above about 72 F.
