Computer ever overheat?

Well, take the cover off ! Better yet, just put the motherboard on your desk and go from there.

I would think that doing that would make the cooling fans much less effective.

If ye gonna do that, may as well go with a liquid cooling system. :aok

Dust isn't an issue if you dust it at a minimum of once a week.  MY concern would be tripping with a drink, spilling drink and trying to drink with your air pipe. :bhead

It does.  A well designed case and cooling fan system is the best you can get with air cooling.

It looks like it is liquid cooled to me. At least that looks like a radiator and coolant pump in the pic.

What I want to know is where is the turbo and inter-cooler.

That's not a desk, but a purpose built testing rig for computer hardware. It is indeed water cooled with a dual-fan radiator mounted on brackets on the right hand side.

Here's another typical testing rig:

The only part of my computer liquid cooled is the graphics card. Couldnt afford liquid on the  rest but we put several other fans in there and have never had a problem with over heating.

And remember to clean you laptop's cooler(s) with compressed air/gas regularly.
