Use Powerbook closed with 20" Display?

Just got 20 inch Cinema Display, but confused about whether I can use it with G4 17in Powerbook closed. Powerbook manual says in one paragragh to keep book open to let heat out through keyboard, but says in next paragraph that book can be used closed as well. I can use the whole 20 inches of the Cinema Display if I close the book, so does anyone know if the heat buildup will cause problems?
 
don't know about the heat, the fans will ramp up, and my understanding (not 100%) is that if it is getting too hot it'll shut itself down. But with an external keyboard, mouse, and monitor attached, can be run shut.
