[ale] k7s5a motherboard, heat issues addressed

[Geoffrey]

I finally have my case back together and have gotten rid of the box fan 
I was using to cool my cpu.  My case has vent holes on either side and 
the sides come off as separate pieces.  I added a number of extra holes 
to one side, attached another fan (pulling air in) and my cpu temp stays 
right around 46-47C now.  Following a good run in tuxracer it was raised 
to 48.  Interesting enough, the mb temp dropped 3C after adding the new fan.

I think part of the problem was that the case was about 3 inches from 
the wall and the heat wasn't escaping quickly enough.  I still plan to 
look into Dow's (zalman???) fan suggestion as I figure the fan that came 
with the cpu is probably not top of the line.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
