Yup, all temps are Celcius, casing feels hawt but not on fire.
Not in any direct sunlight no, and not near anything like a radioator.
Pretty clean, i gave the CPU fan a quick brush up, it currently doesn't have any other fans inside it.
Something that did worry me was that there was traces of spider webs going from the case side to a modem and then onto the top of the graphics card. Just small little lines of webbing, i removed them.
For now i've taken off the side panel and told her not to use it unless it's 100% needed. Rest asure she's on Sims 2 right now
Reason this is wierd is with this temps i would have though it would be on fire as well but it only has issues after a few long hours of Sims 2/game action. Just leaving it on for a few days is fine.

Does she have a table fan or something?
As an emergency measure, you could put one of those beside her computer, blowing in, since you have the side off.
She really needs a couple of case fans though, I'd say.

No table fan, i think im gonna have to take the PC home to do some serious work on it. Last time i checked a fan won't make 50 degree's difference.

I agree on that, but whatever else is the matter, she should have a bit of airflow in the case.
