The room I am sitting in right now, is at about 29 degrees celcius. I am talking about the CPU temperatures on a P4 3.00 gig. The only way I could get below 50 is liquid cooling, and even then it would probably be a strech.
Well if you read the intel stuff on the temperatures it can go up to, if it can stand up to 90 as someone said, then you shoulda be too worried <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Liquid cooled is a good plan; so long as all the "piping" remains leak-proof.
However, if you dont want to ruin the inside of your computer i would suggest placing the cooling system on the EXTERIOR. However, they should be placed for maximum effectiveness around:
1- ANY and ALL air INTAKES 2- Behind the CPU but on the casing; ensure it is in good contact with the casing, otherwise you'll get no heat transfer from the metal/plasic casing.
As well, make sure the room you're in is also cooled. Put a ceiling or normal floor fan in your room, if you can. Every little bit helps; turn off anything that can generate heat, as well.
Hell, if you want a cheap cooling system just take a zip-lock with ice and water and tape it onto your case... Just not ON the air intakes; certainly place the ice packs around the computer's air intakes, just dont cover them. Covered air intakes = major bad. As long as you can keep the outside cool, the inside will have a easier time being cooler. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

In the mobo manual it shows a picture of the diognostics screen I was using with the CPU temperature at 80 and the system temp at 39 <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
