awwww cmon!! there has to be something in that ambulance that has an extra fan or 2 .

If not, no worries. All you need is an old vacuum cleaner, a role of duct tape, a screw driver, and a 2 lds. baby sledge hammer.

In the meantime it might help a lot to take the side off your computer .

get those fans. trust me


had something similar a couple of years ago. not enough ventilation in the box. decided to leave the side off.
worked great for about a month.

then it stopped working. after checking it out, evrything except the HD was fried.


so i'd say it's worth to spend those bucks on the fans

Just make it water cooled.

Caulk up the entire inside and get all the the holes and cracks. Then, if it is a tower flip it on its side, fill it with water from your standard water hose. The water will disperse the heat and keep the system cool.

There was once a thread on the interent where a guy did that, but I cannot find it anymore. Man, that was funny.
