I popped a fan on top of my iMac g3/400 for 45C days - they have a thermal cutout that popped in from time to time, and it'd just turn off to protect itself from overheating. The fan solved it all - it's a 15cm ish one, and I made a cardboard shroud to tape onto the top of the mac. it sucks air out of the top of the iMac, and so pulls cool air in through the bottom.

Made such a difference!

(I put a layer of tape around the edge too, and taped more tape facing the sticky side too, so it'd seal a little better)
