Quote - I am a fanatic about keeping the inside of my machine clean. Once a month it is taken down and cleaned. I have not had an overheating issue yet and I run a dual core box WITH a stock cooler. I have mixed feelings about going out and paying an arm a leg for a turboprop for you box. I guess it depends in your set up and what you're using it for. All my machines have used stock coolers and I have never has an issue. Keeping your box clean, dust free and not packing it to the hilt with junk is a plus.

People don't realize just how important it is to keep their machines clean. I do some computer repair on the side from my home and you should see some of the machines I get that have never been cleaned since the were purchased. Dust is the enemy!

Definitely good advice. :)

As far as a "turboprop for your box", (hehe) this is the cooler I'm using, which is why I figured if I was having heat issues with Poser 7 on a hot day, some people with stock coolers may have problems even if their ambient temps aren't too high:

About $25 to $30. It can be a little scary to install one of these things though, I think that is a bigger factor for a lot of people than the cost. :)
