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!!!

Powerful air flow is the name of the game here. De-dusting the case is a good start, making sure the intakes are clear helps too, then aiming a powerful fan at what is left. A cheap WalMart box fan is enough to help enormously.
