As a comparison, here's the state of 2 PCs when I woke up today at ~9am:

E8400 @ 4.0(dual core)
P5E-VM HDMI
Swifty 120.2 w/ 74cfm push/pull fans
Apogee GT and MCW30
MCP350
Single bay res

Ambient: A/C on 23.3C/74F, Thermometer reading 25.5C/78F
43, 46C

Q9450 @ 3.4(quad core)
GA-G31M-S2L
Car Rad setup

Ambient: PC weather says ~20C/68F
39, 37, 38, 38C

Again, I'm really curious to see how things go when I hook up the next PC. Winter should be fun!

Also, these chips/mbs will be swapped out. The Q9450 and GA-G31M-S2L are both new to me, so I figured that I would check them out together before putting the PCs in their long-term setups.
