    I am not too sure about that model, but sager has always had computers that run very cool.

    The only problem with heat seems to be with the HDD, but only in rare cases it seems.

    I really don't see any reason that set up should overheat. Just take care of it keep the Intake vents clean and the air out vents clean, And have someone (or do it yourself) take apart and give it a good cleaning once a year and it will last for years to come. But, If you dont know much about the insides get someone else to do it...Can get a little confusing :)
