A power brick is never a plus. The internal is perfectly safe and is the last thing the air that flows through touches. So the hot air from the PSU doesn't affects the motherboard or any of the chips. It will not cause premature heat related death. A power brick is more likely to overheat than an internal supply that always has a supply of fresh air running through it. You think about things too much. It's not the smart thing to do. Heck, even the newest PS2 slims has internal supplies. The bricks tend to get chucked behind a TV stand where there is no airflow to cool it.
