I like the commodore lol.  No idea what the first case is, but it kinda looks like that one bulldozer case.  The 2nd looks like a antec 900 or 1200 and the last one looks like a coolermaster haf.  And how is that voodoo laptop a gaming computer, cause it has intel graphics.

Thats a lot for 4gb of ram. I'd be happy with the 4gb on the machine you showed me.

My laptop is seriously lacking in gaming capability to be fair, but laptops were never designed to play games. But would it really hurt them to put a decent graphics card in Laptops?

graphics cards run even hotter then the cpu... logic dictates that putting in a closed space would make things worse temp wise.
I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

Ya they are designed to get up to 90c!!  Almost boiling!  Ive seen some people run them at boiling temp too. That would be a nasty burn if you touched it

They can get up to around 60 or 70c .  It really depends on the tj max of the cpu though. I really wouldnt get it any hotter then 20 under then tj max.  Like for me, the tj max of my cpu is 90c, so I really wouldnt want it to get any hotter then 70c.  I still like to keep it cooler then that though.  I dont like heat.
