Here's my "l33t" system, relatively speaking...

Yes, it's dusty. I know this. I took this pic over the weekend while cleaning it up. I removed the CPU and GPU heat pipes and discovered why I was getting higher than normal temps: the stock thermal grease had solidified completely and was all crusty. (especially on the GPU)
Some acetone, paper towels, and arctic silver fixed that.
As a side note, I wish other laptop vendors would use a similar cooling solution to what I have. Most that I have seen that actually use heat pipes have both the CPU
and GPU sharing the same radiator. I know you can't really see it too well, but the design in my laptop each has its own radiator and they share the same cooling fan. Later models are the same (separate radiators) but each radiator has its very own cooling fan.
