I just installed a new power supply and a soundcard to my computer and it seems to be running a bit hotter than usual. Can you guys recommend me a good cooling fan that doesn't take much space (I don't have much room left in there)

Thanks for the help but found out what was wrong with it. I put the Power Supply upside down, so the fan was throwing hot air on the processor and video card. The thing is that i cant turn it around cause the the screws wont go in right if its put the right way. What im going to do is make the fan go faster so it doesn't blow so much hot air on the processor.

I am whoever looking now for a new case with some fans and with lots of room. Im searching for something around the 100 range and that it doesn't come with a power supply. Also it has to be a mid tower.


** EDIT **
Just bought a case, not the best in the market but will do for me.

..Be sure to fashion some sort of filtration for the front two fans. you can EASILY make something out of chicken wire, attach it to the front grills, and between the two put a fabric that breathes. I'd say try panty hose or somethin' thin like that.

Otherwise, as Chris said, be prepared to clean.. ALOT.

ALSO, corn.

the fan that you see pictured on the side doesnt come with the case. you need to purchase that as well.

it wont cool your processor or your vid card very well w/out it.

I know, I'm just trying to give you a hard time :) . Seen something alike before be used in a computer graphic artist's rig - looked pretty efficient if you can spare a slot.

Oh, and nice case Carlos.
