Anything under 40 C while operating is fine.

I have a PC in a micro case that serves as a tvio (running mythtv
http://www.mythtv.org). Anyway, it's a small case and it's inside my
entertainment center. I checked the mobo/cpu temp and in there it gets a
bit hot:

case temp: 36C
CPU temp: 35C

CPU is a 1900+ and the board is an ASUS A7N8X-VM. There's not a whole lot
I can do to cool the case down due to its size. I has a 60 mm case fan, and
the PSU has 2 fans. What do you all think about those operating temps?

As the others stated, those temp are good. You might consider running
something like MBM that allows you to set an alarm if your temps exceed a
certain temp. You might be able to set this within your systems BIOS as
well.

That way the system will give off an audilble if things get too steamy.
Particularly useful in Multimedia systems sitting in cabinetry and
especially good for monitoring temps durring summer.

I have a 2500XP running at 52C is this too hot? Thank you.

Those temps should be fine, just open it now and then to blow out any dust.

that is pushing the limit, I would consider investing in a better heat
sink/fan, and maybe even another case fan.

Well the recommended limit is actualy 85C according to AMD.

It really depends on the Ambient temp, 52C would be VERY GOOD
if I was running Prime95 or Seti, in summer time when it hits
30C+.

Funny how Ambient temps failed to get mentioned when people ask if there
temps are too high. EEEEEEEEEK *8D
