If you have a brand name office computer, and you have provided adequate
ventilation, then I wouldn't worry too much about it. They are designed to
run this warm and have sensors that will shut them down if they over heat.
All modern CPUs run quite warm, and performance computers pump out heat
like a room heater. As long as it isn't bothering your feet, then it
shouldn't bother the computer.
