BTW, HAVOC, just because the CPU gets hot enough to burn, doesn't mean that heat makes it through the case. There's that whole heatsink thing, the laptop's metal frame, and the relatively thick plastic of the case. My old WinBook got dangerously hot, but the heat was coming from the dumb metal plate over the battery circuit. There was plenty of heat from the CPU, but that mostly got ported out through the fans. I could run the laptop till the battery went dry (which back then was about 7 hours) without the cord in and it wouldn't get very hot at all. Plug it in, and it heated up fast. Battery dissipation.
