Where I live, A heater isnt needed ;; My room is like a sauna. Even in winter, I have no fan...yeah.
It heats up like that rather fast though,vents all underneath, Such a fail design.

If the computer continues that with the laptop fan, something is wrong. It's gg for it. Back up your stuff, wipe it out and find a way to get lower resource usage on it. Consider a new laptop now. You'll be able to continue using it, but who knows for how long.

It's my "Anime" Lappy, Im using another now. But that's the only one which actually plays/decodes HD & H.264 or w.e ;; this one lags, lags, lags.

Yeah, I assumed so when I saw the specs. I almost bought one of those back in the day till I saw many comments about issues with those series. (I've avoided HP, Dell, compaq, gateway and several other brands since due to the design of their case)
If all you need is anime, maybe consider a new laptop for normal use (research well to make sure it won't have heat problems) and then put HTPC OS on the laptop?

New one is gateway, but ;; My friend has an ASUS, same cpu but an ATI gpu *256MB*, same price as mine *64MB* ;;
the HP DV6 series, as ive experienced are Problem childs. this gateway's fan placements arent that bad actually, I use it on the bed alot & it doesnt heat up much at all.

Gateway has some that are decent, but have a few problem lines too. I never bothered to check them in depth. I just went with other brands.

NV series are decent for everyday/school pc's If you change the Vertex proccessing to software for some game's they will run stellar.
$479 gateway runs crysis with vertex proccessing on software ;; win win. ASUS though, omfg. the fan placement and spec's for the laptop friend has outdoes the gateway majorly ;; and it like..stays cool for ages and ages.
About the heat, Im worried the GPU will separate from the motherboard.
