Tip:  (at least it works on my G4 tower)

Install the CHUD tools from Apple, then go into the system preferences,
CHUD, and click "nap".  I see a 15-20degreeC temperature difference
(lower) when I run my G4 CPUs in "nap" mode (e.g., they go to sleep when
idle) and have not had any problems in over a month when doing this.
