How to turn 'on' the fan in a macbook

I know it sounds like a funny question to ask.. how to make my machine more noisy.. especially since the Sun T2000 arriving on monday is going to make me deaf..

but my shiny powerbook is burning my legs, and my desk isn’t designed to act as a heat-sync so this thing will probably burn it.

Is the solution to just get a piece of aluminium and sit the the laptop on that (a kind of brute force external heatsync) ?

my hard drives are running at about 43c/109F at the moment.

It’s not helping that Melbourne is having a hot spell at 30c for the last couple of days either.
