I was thinking of using an acrylic case in my upcoming build and I was wandering if it would be wise to use a Pentium D processor in an all plastic case? I know the current Pentium D chips run quite hot and even with stock cooling wouldn't the inside of case be warmer since the case is all plastic?

Well, I figured I'd ask anyway since the inside of an acrylic case can get quite hot without decent airflow (as it would with any case).
