Actually, I've got a computer that I had to run without the side of the case,
otherwise the CPU overheated and crashed (reached about 69 degrees, according
to the BIOS, when I had to reset). Without the case, it was running just
under 60 degrees. I think that I might have to put some more thermal compound
on the processor/heatsink, but I'm not sure where my tube is, at the moment.
