Heat problems with a computer mounted in a CP?

I can't really help you out, but, just out of curiosity, why would you want to put your PC in your CP (pun intended)???? Just being curious...

I don't think this will pose a problem....I think the quantity of fans you are describing will be sufficient airflow to displace the heat .
Of course, placement of those will determine how much air they move.

I think his design is to build a portable Control Panel rather than a full cabinet. Of course, I could be wrong. ;D

A duron 1600 and a PC chips mobo should be okay with a single fan in as well as the power supply outlet fan. Just ensure the inlet/outlet are at opposite ends to give good airflow.
Just to be safe try out the following program called Motherboard Monitor.

If your running windows it will put 2 small temperature icons on your taskbar with real time monitoring and it doesn't take up a lot of memory neither. It's usually used by overclockers as it saves going into the hardware monitor in the Bios. if you start heading towrds the mid/high 50C's then you need to put in a bit more cooling.
