I've got mine sitting on a couple strips of scrap aluminum to provide
an airway beneath the case.  I've also been thinking about getting
one of those little fan units that sticks in the PC-Card slot and
blows air into the case.

But, in general, I just avoid extended periods with no idle time.
(E.g., No distributed.net, or seti at home client.)
