Chuck on heaps of water cooling, and use it as part of the "Linux can
even make your Coffee" program?

Actually, I'd be interested in seeing peoples temperature graphs.
My Desktop (about to have better cooling setup)

My new server (about to get 2 more HDD's, one is currently in the old
server mounted over NFS, and one is the new one)
http://linuxalien.ath.cx/munin/white.lan/myoxa.white.lan-hddtemp_smartctl.html
If you look around my munin graphs, you'll probably also find the old
server, which has no monitoring happening anymore, but you can see the
temperatures anyway.
Oh, and the jump to 240C, is when I put the drives in the oven for awhile :p JK
