All you guys obsessed over the little bit of heat coming from the back of your PC cases has made Intel and the Taiwaneese rich, great going:
6-5-2004 Overheated PCs Mean Hot Business for Cooling Firms
TAIPEI - Powerful microchips are throwing off so much heat that the inside of a personal computer is hotter than Death Valley, helping Taiwan firms specializing in cooling components post sizzling sales.
"The thermal problem is becoming more and more important to PC makers," said AVC Chairman Spencer Shen, whose company is the world's largest manufacturer of cooling components, with a more than 25 percent market share. "They want a complete solution, not just a single component."
The company has forecast its net profits and revenues will both rise 45 percent in 2004, to T$479 million ($14 million) and T$7.8 billion respectively.
Semiconductor heavyweight Intel Corp, which owns a one percent stake in the firm, counts on AVC to provide the design for components to cool its Pentium chips.
Last month, Intel scrapped the development of two new chips in order to rush to market a more efficient technology, a move analysts said was an effort to cut back on the heat problem.
The result should be cooler computers requiring less costly cooling components, as well as fewer embarrassing accidents.
British medical journal The Lancet in 2002 reported the case of a man who used a notebook computer on his lap for about an hour -- and developed blisters on his scrotum.

Note: There is NO "Heat Problem". Maybe for Intel component base systems there is but I am not convinced of that either.
It is well documented and seen by many people from AT here that run 4 PC's in my attic at 150 degrees, 2 of them AMD and 2 of tejm Intel, all over 1.5 GHZ machines and with no extra fans of any kind, just the power suplly fan and normal CPU fan, no extra case fans or anything.
Electronic chips are made to 90 degree C specification, if they can't handle a day in the California desert temp as described in the above article then "Houston, We have a problem" and it's a lot bigger than some Company making huge profits on a "Refigeration system for the PC".
