Lol, I'm one to talk, I cut a hole in my brand new case within the hour :P
Anywho, stress test is over (playing a graphics intensive game for 8 hours) and the temps are in:

Good good...
Nice temps! Out of curiosity, was it a cool day by any chance..? Lol.. What games were you playing?
Last winter just after I got my current PC set up (before I got my Zalman cooler) I had a temp monitor open while I played a few hours of Titan Quest (it is actually suprisingly CPU intensive), my CPU didn't get above 22 degrees... But the ambient room temp was something rediculously cold like 10 degrees. The cold was getting to me, so I moved soon after that... Lol.
It is currently 25.2 degrees C ambient :)
The games were:
Gears of War
Elder Scrolls IV
Fallout 3
Fallout 3 is run on the same engine as Oblivion
Zalman CPU cooler = sex
Temps should be going down again when I get 3 more 120mm fans rated at 70 cfm @ maximum RPM. Right now, I've got the zalman copper cooler, two 120mm fans (one front intake, one side intake) and a 200mm exhaust fan.
I wouldnt try it.
I've got 6x 120mm fans, with room for two more on the side panel.
CPU temp never exceeds 26C,
GPU maxed at 41C while playing CODMW2 for 3 hours at max settings.
Its a little bit noisy when watching quiet dvds,
But I got bigger issues to worry about than fan noise while gaming.
