But in any case don't ignore the placement of the system unit - if it's in a well-ventilated area so that the input air to the case is cool and the hot exhaust air is not recyled back into the case, the system will run cooler and maybe a bit quieter as well.
Yes, I thought of that last night. It was in a desk where it had only a couple of inches of clearance on the top, sides, and back. I took it out of that and put it on the floor. It seemed to make a big difference, but I don't have any hard data. The top of the case was quite warm, now it is only a little warmer than room temperature (according to my touch) and while there is still some hot air coming out the back it seems to be a lot less than it was and only a little more than my other computer.
