I think my cpu is running hot. After being on a few hours it gets slower but the heat that is inside that machine is HOT. I would appreciate it if someone can recommend a monitor or something that I can run on the desktop etc. Or maybe some links to easy cooling tricks with fans etc. I will read it all. I want this thing to run very cool. Thanks for your time.

Depending on your mobo you may be able to monitor those settings in your CMOS setup. If you do not have Hardware monitoring statistics there you can try the monitor here: http://hmonitor.net/product.html
Btw, on my Athlon 2100+ w/1024MB RAM, with my CPU usage bobbing around 1-3% usage right now, my mobo temperature currently is 26ºC/78.5ºF. My CPU temperature currently is 54ºC/129ºF. My CPU temp will jump up another 10ºF when I put a load on it.
