    2. HDD
    3. RAM
    4. Fan
    5. NB+CPU(?)

    And are the temperatures normal?

    Okeh, so I guess that's a confirm answer since both suggest that 5/6 are nb/sb.

    Thanks.

    Any comments about the temperatures?

    If I still remember, I think I was surfing net and chatting on MSN, the ACPI stays above 50dc no matter what I'm doing.

    And the CPU hovers around 50dc.

    It's running Vista, does it affect the temperature compared to XP?

    vista has more eye candy so it may run a little warmer due to more stress running vista compared to XP

    So true, the CPU is <40 in XP.

    You have really nothing to worry about. I have been running my acer aspire one at 70 degrees for about 10 month. I turned my fan completely off so my acer aspire one is silent now.
