Projector Heat (1 Viewer)

I just got a Dell 3200 projector. I've not had much experience with them. After about an hour or two of using it, the unit gets very hot. Almost too hot to pick up. I know that they're supposed to get warm, but do you think that it is something to worry about? It feels like a blow drier coming out of the fan.

Yea, heat is something not often brought up but is just nature of the beast. I use a fan in the room to help keep cool.
Since I dedided to ceiling mount the heat has become less of an issue as most of the heat stays close to the celing.

Thanks for the reasurance. I just needed some confirmation that it is supposed to get that hot.
