Thanks Scott,
As usual, you've set my mind at ease.

As I mentioned, since you seem to have an air temperature of 72F or
lower, that's relaively low temperatures. If you had the computer in
a room that's 85F, obviously the temperatures that you quote would be
higher; the PS fan temp that you quote would probably be 97F in that
case.
As long as the fan appears to be moving at normal speed, the
temperature should be ok. I probably wouldn' be too concerned about
temperatures unless they go above 150F or so.
I couldn't find specs on the Cyrix 550 either. Note that VIA is the
owner now.
