What would be good recommended temps for
1. Case
2. CPU (I have Athlon XP 1800+ and DON'T overclock)
I like a quiet computer so how warm can things safely get?

These are the instructions that came with my Thermalright SLK-800 cooler:
Assembly:
The assembly gestalltet itself just as simply as with the standard Slk-800. after the foil of the base plate was removed and the processor core with thermal compound moistened, leaves one the 6-Punkt-Halteklammer in the base noses to engage. Subsequently, the radiator box is aligned centrically on the base. By means of slotted bolt turners finally the catch side of the fixing clip down pressed to these on the base engages. A strammer contact pressure develops, whereby a good waermeaufnahme is ensured. Although the additionally existing PU Schaumpads provides for a safe seat on the processor, the PC should very carefully be transported and/or the radiators before transport be developed.

I have a xp1800 cooled with a Thermaltake Volcano 6cu and a 60mm fan on it moving about 23 cfm
My temps are about 44c underload and 42 ambient. But I know it is a little high cause my room is unreasonably warm.
I want to either upgrade my HSF to a AX-7 or just jump right into watercooling. But I think the WCing will be later on since it is expensive.
But I have found that normal temps can range anywhere between 33c-45c. If it gets over 45, I think its too hot

Gone for good. But never say never
It really depends on which motherboard you have...because older mobo's read the temperature from below the CPU, while newer ones read the temp from inside the cpu core of the Athlon XP. If you have a mobo with a diode below the CPU, temps from 40-50 are normal, while if you have one that reads the core temps, 50-60 are normal. Case temps from 25-35 are normal, near 40 is too hot IMHO.
Welcome to the machine.

why do most of you think anything above 45-50 c is too hot? thats about half the max temp of 90 c for athlon. my athlon 1.4ghz runs from 45-55c. these temps are read with a hardwired temp probe on the core ,only way to get it cooler is to run it with the side off then it only drops to 38c. im running a volcano 6 with an 80mm fan lol
