400W....roughly how much does the average overclocked system put out in heat I wonder?

Well remember that for the newer phase-change systems (Vapochill's and Prommy Mach II's) that the compressor power draw is around 220-250W. Throw in the heat of a stupendously overclocked CPU under load (~110-130W, maybe more), the heat coming off the PSU due to inefficiences (~15% ineffecicent at ~400W = ~60W of heat), throw in the heat from the GPU, disk drives and mobo, and you're already looking at an easy 450W of heat, maybe even 500W.
Definitely need to duct some of the heat away, even if you can't duct the compressor heat, then at least the condensor heat, otherwise a small room will get rather toasty fairly quickly.
