No, Jim, you won't need very much cooling for a modest PIII driven eCS
system with an adequate 32-64MB video card, a conteporary hard drive or
two and 512 mb memory.  What I've described will dump 100watts, which
can easily be removed by a single derated fan. 

Did you really have a $2000 system dissipating 250 watts in mind when
you asked the question?

I don't think anyone said convection/radiation gives greater cooling 
than forced air.  The question is, does a given system need forced  air
cooling.  I'd say that special machines with high heat output 
definitely do.  There are those that simply do not and will not,  for
whatever reason.  There are those all between these extremes.
