Great article, but the tips about putting the Pi in a case and using heatsinks seem at odds with each other - especially if the Pi is going to be safely tucked away from danger inside some form of arcade cabinet. I just used self-adhesive PCB risers with mine and stuck it to the inside of the cab.

Now that I have had more time to mess with my Pis, you have a point. It's a solid 3 watts under load, when overclocking a bit more. I recommend a 20x20x15mm heatsink, and probably open air (I removed the top half of the case) too. The little heat sinks the cases bundle are better than nothing, for sure, but get uncomfortable to touch under extended load.
