COOLING

Cooling is very important with any pc ,my advice is if there is room to have at least 1 good 80ml fan for air intake at the front and 2 x80ml fans at the rear for removing any hot air ,avoid taking the sides of to help cool down any sys this can actualy cause more damage due to no proper air flow,also you can place your hard drives in cool caddys like these wich i have 2 of they help take out a lot of heat from your pchttp://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=405

memory can also get very hot so i advise any serios gamer to concider adding a couple of these memry stick coolers [url]

heat problems with sytems can be mostly caused due to bad location ie in a small confined space with no room around the tower .

also take of 10c from your cpu temp i would advies using artic silver paste istead of the free stuff that comes with your cpu[/url]
