[ILUG] [OT] Athlon heatsink

[Diarmaid O'Loughlin]

Well while in windows use CpuIdle. Linux use's the same thing for saving
power so uour cpu is actuall cooler in Linux.

Also you could get one of the big cooling fans you see in offices! Plonk
that over your open case. That will keep the bugger cool.
