  Keep in mind that not everything has an immediate consequence.  High
temperatures may not cause a crash or instability, but they may lead to
premature failure.  Hard drives in particular can be affected this way.  
You think everything is fine, but six months later, you might experience a
bunch of disk failures.  I'm not saying this *will* happen, just that it is
worth keeping in mind.

  Personally, I try to aim for 65 degrees Fahrenheit.  It keeps the insides
nice and cool.  :-)
