I just checked my idle temps even after the comp has been off for a bit and they were 55C. Is that really bad? Should I add like a couple more fans or what?

Just a 2100xp with a stock hsf, and nothing is over clocked plus the temps can get up to 60C sometimes, god knows what they are when im playing a game

55 or even 60 degrees centigrade isn't disastrous for an athlon xp...
if you're worried you might want to think about fitting a new heatsink and fan

yea but thats idle temp...i say thats pretty bad....what is it at at fullload
I have a whole bunch of old fans laying around so couldnt I just mount them all over the inside of my case? How much will the temp drop if i added 4 more fans?

You can't just stick fans inside your case, you need air flow...
This is how mine is setup...
Thanks Ill set mine up like that and see what happens.

Alright everything is good. I just put in some more fans and and more ventelation and my temps dropped alot. So i decided to overclock it. Now my temps are around 53C when im actually using the computer. I overclocked my 2100 xp from 1.7 GHz to 2.0 GHz, is that to much or should i leave it?

Wait a minute here.
In just 5 hours you installed a bunch of fans, reassembled your machine and then clocked it up by 300MHz?
Have you run any benchtests at all?
How's your stability?
How are your load temps?
Your PC sounds like a timebomb.
I can hear the ticking all the way up here....
