I just moved my old HP pavillion into a computer desk that has a cabinet for the pc along one side. It has a door on the front and is parialy covered in the back. I notice that the PC is warm to the touch and the CD's that are removed from the philips cd-rw are warm. I also felt the air being ejected from the fan in the back and it is also warm. Should I be concerned?

The system is an Hp pavilion pII300, I have added a new Radion PCI video card and the CD-rw drive.

I got a little worried tonight and removed the plastic back plate because it sort of covers the fans with more plastic grill. I also removed the side pannel.

Should I be worried? I never noticed it getting warm before. But it has alway been out in the open untill now.
