Tonight i have been on for hours with only 1 shutdown and 3-4 video glitches. 
This is a huge difference from a couple nights ago. The only change i note is 
that the room is much cooler than before.

Installed iStat widget and note the following, with little change over ca 5 
hours of use:

temps
hd 104 F
cpu 112 F
ambient 79 F
gpu diode 126 F
hd bay 104 F
mem controller 113 F
optical drive 95 F

fans
optical drive 798 rpm
hd 1399 rpm
cpu 799 rpm

A bit more hopeful but still working up the nerve to go inside this thing.
