The new: The Gateway E-Series 6300 uses a BTX chassis, which locates fans on either end and places major components, including the processor (underneath the black box in the middle of the frame) in between. That creates a direct "wind tunnel" flow of air to keep the parts cooler. The machine's fans are also larger and rotate more slowly, cutting down on noise.
