Nice! Distcc based compilation might be something to try on this. :) One thing I noticed is that heatsink fins are oriented in a wrong direction. Air should be going through the fins, not to the side of them. But I guess any air movement is enough to cool this.

Here is a simple study on distcc, pump and using of the make -j# option on low end hardware. It seems that the network could be a bottleneck. The compilation time probably would decrease to 1/4. But I think the use of -j# is the best advice.
