Properly installed electronics do produce considerable amounts of waste heat, try putting your hand on top of a CRT monitor or television that has been running for a while if you don't believe me, or better still try using a laptop computer actually on your lap while doing something fairly computationally intensive (3d games are a good choice) depending on the model they can heat up enough get quite uncomfortable.
