Kinda would make sense that they're not stackable, so with the 4 or 5 slots you have available, you have to decide what you want, there'll have to be a trade off somewhere between the 3 choices available to get what you want instead of going full force and having everything.
Just a thought .. 
And now that you're able to pipe BuildCraft pipes into the geothermal generator, you can switch out the miner for a BuildCraft pump and charge up power for your miner to a MFE/MFS Unit/Crystals, emptying a lava lake, and are able to then continue to mine as normal. Without the cost of tin.
Not sure if anything can be done in regard to targeting specific ores, however to power it, it's common to bring along an MFE or MFS unit and throw crystals in that to power the miner and pump. Just be sure to use a transformer!
High temps like that are pretty normal for laptops, it's nothing to worry about, really. People like to wave their arms about saying this, that, and the other about damage and the likes, but in reality, no, it's fine. CPUs do throttle themselves (or shut down in extremes) to protect themselves, plus fan controllers keep it all in check too.
I've got a Mac Mini which uses laptop hardware and is very tiny, I've been encoding for years with this machine where the CPU sits at 90c for 12 hours at a time. Trouble free. My MacBook Pro is the same, sits around 90c at maximum load .. They are designed with heat in mind, thus can take the heat.
Only thing to worry about if the laptop is on your legs when it gets to those temps. 
Ask permission. 
Do you have an existing computer to salvage parts from, or are you starting completely from scratch?
Staying in budget is also having me consider a free OP System like Linux
What I'm looking for:
- A computer capable of handling minecraft and equivalent games at full-max settings
What other "equivalent" games have you in mind? Do they run on Linux?
I too would certainly question that amount of officers at one address .. 
I thought there was a mod that used dark matter, plasma, or something like that and had a storage block with it's EU capacity in the billions? I flipped through the AdvGeneratorsPr5 mod, but couldn't see anything obvious. I'm certain there is one somewhere!
I was thinking similarly this morning. Here's what gets me, though:
2) - Her future plans; Future plans are fine... for the future.
3) - quote;eloraam "... I have my own plans in mind for that."
How was the person who made this mod-for-a-mod supposed to know of upcoming features and functions? As I was under the impression that upcoming features and functionality were (usually) kept secret, partly for excitement for fans and users of the mod, partly to avoid idea stealing. *shrug*
I'll be giving this a whirl at some stage, thanks.
Try breaking one of the HV cables then placing it back.
Now where will we get our porn from?! 
Sounds awesome/interesting, I'll be interested in seeing what you get back.
It's not in game, however, I made such a website to help you -> Minecraft Resource Calculator.
That would just get annoying.
Are all chunks containing this long distance wire loaded?
Does it have to?
Looks nice, sure does change the visual simplicity Minecraft has.
Could just make your own by stacking a solar panel and a luminator on top of fence posts .. ?
I know this used to happen on older versions, it was quite a bother, though was fixed recently. It's unusual that you're experiencing it now.
