Just recently got my friend to build me a PC, airflow and temperature is horrible... Time to get a few fans and make a blowhole. Gonna stack two 80mm fans at the front, looking through a blowhole with some kind of mesh or guard. I'll follow Defyants guide to do so. Also gonna do some kind of painting....One problem, the whole case is riveted ... ugh. Gonna take some time to get it apart so I can finially work on it. If you have any tips or anything on getting my system cooler please post, also post comments and ideas for a window and blowhole, color schemes.

Scott.

If your case is big enough try 120mm fans they are quieter and can push more air through.

Here is a guide on case painting.

You can make your system cooler by buying and after market heatsink for your CPU and maybe even you Graphics card. Or if you have enough money you could water cool the system that would make it much cooler.

You will need a rivet gun to put it back together its a real pain that the whole case is riverted like that good luck!
