It runs pretty cool. Shutting down and looking at the BIOS temp readings
show it run 10 degrees cooler than the Duron 1.6ghz that is sitting behind
me. There is just the power supply fan, a case fan, and the CPU fan supplied
by AMD. The case has an opening and a duct that is directly over the CPU, 
which sucks air in from the outside.

There are 142 processes, which consist of many xterms, Mozilla, and sometimes
pan and remote application displays from my Solaris 10 x86 systems. Both
mplayer and xine run very smoothly on this system.
