Yea I got nervous and have reinstated the fan instead of one of the CD drives. Things look a bit cooler now, but the local does get up to 60C every now and again.
As you said I'm watching it, but I think more cables and new fans will be on the cards very soon :)
May seem a silly thing but while you've got it open clean all the dust and crap out,check the processer fan and heatsink for dust build up,I use a little artist brush to get all the nooks and crannys clean,then very carefully hoover all the dust out.
Some like to use canned air to blow the crap out,make sure to brace the fans if you do this,hold it to stop it spinning when your using the canned air
