Another thing that comes up on these lists from time to time is the fact that what you consider overheating may be a nice comfortable temperature for your computer. I remember a few years ago someone trying to keep their iMac cool by having a fan from above blowing DOWN onto the computer, and others responded that the iMac was designed to cool on its own by allowing the heat to RISE up through its vents. I gathered that unless your room is blazing hot, your computer is probably o.k. Gone are the days when "computer rooms" had to be kept crispy cold.
Someone else please fill in the blanks on my info, Claire

My sister has an iMac DV 400Mhz. ...
Anyways, She doesn't use it heavily, tends to turn it on about 4:00/4:30 ish and leave it on till about 10:00 when she goes to bed. I told her never to leave it running when not using it, it will overheat so she puts it to sleep when not in use. I have come in now and then just to check its not overheating or anything and I can't feel any heat.
