I'd just assumed it was the hard drive b/c of the error message I was
getting. 
[17198308.088000] hda: lost interrupt
[17198401.968000] hda: lost interrupt

Dmesg keeps complaining about hda, so.... ::shrugs:: The CPU definitely 
gets up there in temperature too though, so I guess its possible. In 
general this box definitely has issues when it comes to heat, so it may 
be worth it to get something that'll cool off the whole thing, not just 
the HD.
