My Celeron 433 runs at ~50degC in the summer, with SETI at home running. Cheapo case (only PS fan) and CPU cooler (don't recall specifics, haven't been in there in a while). Ran about 5degC hotter when I bumped the FSB to 75MHz. Been running nearly 24/7 like that (66 FSB) for ~1-1/2 years without problems. Well, no problems that I can pin on hardware anyway.
