Cool enough for me thankfully.
The temps are a few posts above, 47c in the summer is more than cool enough. AMD XPs will run at 60+ for years without becoming unstable.
The heat does get out... Its rather pleasant actually as the vent comes out in the foot well. Warms my knees nicely,
The foam does two things you see, not only does it remove some high end frequencies, but it also directs the air path through the machine. As a result I have the fans working at low speeds. There is a baffle behind the PSU outlet that takes the airflow round a couple of bends again foamed It also stengthens the desk where most weight is.
But if I had wanted to play games i would have designed the desk differently to make it less restricive. Probably without the cavity at the rear to allow the air straight out. Would also have ducted the graphics card with fresh air.
