    I did a search on here and google but came up with nothing interesting.

    Is it possible (non dangerous) to overclock the stock 1.83 (Intel® Core™2 Duo processor T5550) processor to 2 ghz on this model? I heard the cooling system was something impressive so perhaps it can handle it?

    I don't know Intels. But heat should not be an issue, undervolting could always be used if needed. But I have an idea. Save up $319 and buy a T9300 2.5Ghz. The difference between 1.83Ghz and 2Ghz is not much, about 10% so really won't see much difference
