haha wow. I couldn't have put up with that... But I once had heat problems too, and my answer was to leave my PC open and point a giant standing fan at the open side of the case all day long. Worked fine, but I always worried what would happen if somehow someone spilled something near the fan...
I put up with that for about 6 months, then bought an aluminum case.. never had heat problems since.
