Anyone ever had any 'burning smells ' from their Mac ?

Yesterday, after using the DVD player in my G5 - I had a problem with  
a smell of burning plastic !
Possibly from the cinema display - which felt quite warm/hot?  The  
DVD tray was empty and functionng okay .

I shut everything down - checked power fuses etc all okay, and made a  
successful restart.    No blockage of air vents to the machine.
It might have been my APC unit - but there had been no brownouts.

I have had the Mac running 24/7 for some weeks now - could that be  
the problem - and its just got overheated ?

What the hell is/was it ? Smell has disappeared now

Anyone had a similar experience ?

Ciao
