I know this won't be a helpful comment but I just couldn't resist.......
With most desk tops put together in a minimum configuration, the monitor
dissipates almost as much heat as the rest of the works.  Are you going to
buy the users opera glasses so they can see the monitor screens from 50
feet away too??  Seems to me like moving the CPUs is the wrong solution to
the problem.  By the time you get done overcoming the shortcomings of this
arrangement, the total cost would probably be more than a proper upgrade of
the cooling would cost.  In some cases, a couple of small fans work nicely.
