Can a Sega Saturn Overheat/Does it have a fan?

The Subject title says it all.

It does not have a fan. If its in a hot cabinet with other systems or a tuner or something, it could, but I don't think its likely as long as it gets air.

My Sega Saturn has never overheated before.

My PC, however, is another story.

I actually never had a system overheat, I would give some space around the console so It doesn't happen.

I had a PS3 overheat once, nothing else has ever gotten so hot to shut off. However, my old PowerBook G4 did manage to get within 5 degrees of emergency shut off.

No, your Saturn won't over heat unless you live in an oven.

The Saturn is one of the coolest-running consoles, as well as one of the coolest consoles, period. The it runs well, and is very quiet. I'd even say it's quieter than the Gamecube; the only thing you'll hear is the disc spinning.

Most consoles can overheat, but unless they're under extreme circumstances (a small cabinet with poor airflow for example) they won't. In fact, I really wouldn't even worry about this for any console made before this generation.

sometimes I think about my Gamecube overheating. And I know you can get a fan. But then I think, well if it overheats, it's only $30 to replace the console so...

I meant that I think about it overheating when I see sites selling replacement fans. I'm suffering through a horrible horrible cold right now, so I'm not terribly lucid...
