and there is a bunch of reasons why overclocking is a bad idea, if you don't know what you're doing then you will end up with a fried processor.

This. Unless you really need the extra GHz, it's not worth pushing them out.
(really is an understatement)

That isn't true at all. You can safely and properly overclock your stuff. You just have to take 30 seconds to google <insert part ot be over clocked here> so you do it correctly. If using google is to much to ask for then use your brain when you do it. Some parts (like celerons) are more over clock friendly than others. Sure you may decrease the life span a little but lets face it - no ones uses computer parts till they die anyways. The basic principle is really simple; voltage in = more cycles = more heat. If you can supply the voltage then you need to control the heat. You do that and you are good to go. I've run my q6600 (quad 2.4) at 3.0, 24/7, after market heat sink/fan since the day I got it. July will be two years and it runs like new.
