Not by your wallet but your resources and imagination!!!!

I'm sure OC'ing the CPU with the current cooling will not bring up the temps that much. I ran my cpu @ 2.64Ghz (from 2.4Ghz stock) when I experimented with OC'ing and the temps maybe went up 1-3 degrees, even at full load (45-46C).
Even hit 3Ghz by accident

, and it still booted into the BIOS.

Ok well i will experiment with OC'ing as it is and see what happends.

I have also thought about an open case mod. But that kinda scares me due to I have small children that like to stick their fingers where they don't belong..lol

Just OC slowly and watch the temps, you should be fine.
Since your chip is also running 2.4Ghz these are the settings I used to run my 3800+ @ 2.64Ghz

264mhz FSB x 10 multiplier
HT at 4x = 1056mhz
I also had to lower the memory multiplier, this solved most stability issues.

I Just found out that the max temp for the 4000+ is 71 deg cel. at which point it burns out. I will try your example. Thanks for the advise.

I just might go with an open case mod. I opened my case with it still powered up and the CPU temp dropped 8 deg instantly and continued to drop another 3 deg over 30 min.

I am in the process of making an open case mod at this moment. I'll post a pic when i'm finished. I will have to find a way to set it up high so kiddos can't get to it.

get some chicken wire or window screen to put over the side. make a few support bars and mount them to the case. should keep prying fingers out but i dunno how well it would hold up to any kind of force

LMAO, electricity eh? Hmm, That is a good ... naa. I don't want to kill them..(well most of the time)lol. But screen mesh is a good idea. Didn't think about that.

I wonder if those invisible fences for might work? Just run the wire around my pc room and then wrap the collar around their necks..lol

yes, condensation will be a big problem.....and one not easily dealt with....trust me when I say a good air cooled solution like a TT Big Typhoon or Zalman CNPS9700 is plenty good.
I'm using a Big Typhoon on my E6600 and have it running 3.5GHZ 24/7
