Non-conductive silver grease?
I remember reading an article about it, but I can't find the bookmark. Does anyone know what it's called and where it's available?

Go to your local electronics store (not Radio Shack) and buy some premium transistor thermal compound. The stuff I have is non-conductive, non-silicon based, will not break-down (i.e. won't get runny and start dripping all over the insides) until 400 F/190 C (which your computer should NEVER reach) and has a better thermal conductivity than silver grease. This stuff is what professional electronics people use and costs about $4 a tube, which will last you for years.

The Cooling Store was the first to get Artic Silver all others followed... inflowdirect is the only other place I'd suggest getting it.
