Actually, not bad.  When powered correctly, the supply has a fan running 
it its cabinet.  And when I say very warm, I don't mean hot.  Just that 
its warmer than I'd noticed it!  After running heavily all weekend, the 
supply cabinet really didn't change much in temperature.  I'd expect to 
get some heat since there are bleeder resistors across the caps that will 
dissipate plenty of heat.
