is the case supported by lmsensors?  that's a great way to monitor temp 
and be alerted if anything goes wrong ...

also, remember that some cases are designed to work the best with the 
side panel on, so leaving it off may not make it cooler because air 
flow wouldn't be optimal ...

i split up my myth frontend and backend recently (moved the backend to 
a gentoo-based AMD system) and noticed a significant drop in 
temperature of the former frontend/backend combo ... at the same time, 
i even removed one of my extra fans!  i have one more i want to remove 
and see what the temp is like, because i have a feeling it's the 
loudest one (and my desktop machine could use the extra air movement)
