I usually pop in Diablo II or Warcraft III for a few minutes everyday, but damn, they're pretty old. Diablo II is completely sprite based, so it doesn't require much of anything.
Anyways, I'll probably get a little fan to put behind it.

well at least CHECK if the vents are dusty. If not then switch your Mac to FireWire mode and it will cool it down

Use a Q-tip with some rubbing alcohol on it.
Also, how do you check the internal temp of that stuff? Case mods with internal thermometer, or infrared thermometer?

No... Macs have thermometers built into their hardware. All you need is program to view them
