I should have expected that!  In my defence of course, I can add that
although I have the mic plugged in, it hasn't been used yet!

Now that I have been prompted to look at it more closely, I can see where
the air can escape, as you say on the edge of the heatsink.  I think I shall
go look on eBay for a quiet fan to sit on top as you have done.  I'm using
headphones 99% of the time, and I can even hear the noise of that little fan
through those!  It's rather like the Jack Russell dog we have here, small
and noisy!  Maybe I should be using the noise cancelling Sennheisers I
bought for our trip to NZ this year, trouble is I hate to feel excluded from
the sounds of the outside world (I might miss the offer of a coffee or
something!).

Thanks for the steer
