Just Awesome!
I would love to be able to make something like this.
Thanks! If I can do it, ANYONE can... I'm not using anything other than simple hand tools...

Maybe you could try moving a couple capacitors and having one of those blower fans push air directly into the heatsink. Then have a guide at the back to direct the hot air under the hinge and out the back. That may not allow for enough airflow, though. Dissipating almost 100 Watts in such a small space is going to be difficult.
Not bad ideas... But honestly, at the rate the temps were rising, I suspect that my heatsink wasn't making good contact and coupled with the crappy antec thermal paste, that is too much to overcome. Even with no air moving it seems to me that it should have risen slower. I think my next move is to check my spacers and reapply some arctic silver before I make a judgment...
