I know this is an old thread, but the idea of posting a pic of my new machine here made me laugh. Last year I bought a reasonably high end machine by selecting the individual components and having it built. Unfortunately I did not give enough consideration to cooling and had overheating problems when running demanding apps, recent games in particular.
The solution? At the moment I have the machine sitting up on a chair with the side off and a pedestal house fan blowing cool air into it! Has been like this for about 6 months.
