Cabinet Cooling
Lilwolf:
One simple thing to try (before you buy anything)
remove you processor fan. Then clean all the crap off the heat sync. I'm always amazed at the amount this cools down the processor.
I had that problem two weeks ago. And a quick cleanup and its good to go again.
The other item to consider. Get a good size strong fan to put on the back of your case. Then attach a tube used on the back of cloths dryers (white plastic with wire ring/spring in it). Attach it to your fan and bring it right to either on top of your processor or to the front fan of your computer (that blows in). Cheap $1 solution if you already have the fan.
also adding a grills at the top helps considerably.

I haevn't cleaned off my CPU yet (I will tomorrow.. when I pick up some cleaner!)
But.. just thought I'd show you a screenshot of the comp after a quick 5 minute game of quake. on the cab (I don't recommend FPS on a cab, btw)
Do these numbers appear odd to you? The mobo looks pretty cool.

Try putting a mini ac unit in your cab, that should really cool things down, and on those really hot days you could hang out inside your cabinet. :P
DreamWeb:
Great idea! BUT. I'd need a 4 player sized cab for that!!

Heres a stupid question. Should there be fans blowing in and out in the cab, just in, or just out? This is like a "I'm standing too close to the picture" sort of thing.
