One of two things needs to happen.

We either need a new computer with massive heat sinks and a fan that would feel at home on the Altamont Pass, or we need to move to a place that was built sometime after the end of WWII and incorporates such modern concepts as insulation.

It's bloody 2100 hours, and the main computer is still giving me the overheat alarm after ten minutes of use. Mr. Bigglesworth is a fine machine, no doubt, but the computer is our sole remaining CD player. I can't listen to, let alone review, the new Priest when the computer keeps crapping out!!!

In the absence of a new system, and after you've blown out the dust, try placing a small fan on the outside of the case, blowing air past it. It's what I've had to do with my iMac to keep it from overheating in the afternoons, now that it's getting up into the high 90's here.
