Not running lm sensors no. I tried to compile it once after Mikkel
mentioned it in a previous thread but had some trouble I didn't want
to try to solve. (Don't remember what now) Since it wouldn't change
how it runs anyway, just report... didn't seem too important.
I'll give you a current reading from the Bios, but don't do that so
often unless rebooting/shutting down for some reason. Right now I
happen to have that box running in console with out bunches of X stuff
going.
Asus A7V133
CPU Athlon Thunderbird 1.2ghz
Mobo 33C/91F
CPU 51C/123.5F
This is in coolish weather with a window open and a breeze.
I don't think those numbers are particularly high. That should mean
that the stock cooling (cpu fan and powersupply fan) is doing its job.
The rub is that means the heat is into the room instead.

I've done nothing about it yet but did post a sort of diagram of what
I thought would work. I also got the supplies to create that setup
but haven't built it yet.
Note: My box (housing) is the flat desktop model. So the view below is
looking directly down on it from above.
Here is the (poorly done) blue print:
