aftermarket vented case panels?

Does anyone know if there are vented aftermarket case panels made? When my ATX system runs at full load (Silent Hunter 3 - great game, btw), I'm getting temps as high as 47C. At that point I ususally start removing panels which brings temps to low 30s. I'm wondering if anyone makes an aftermarket replacement vented panel that would fit my case? I would mod the panels, but I don't have a dremel, and that's the only thing I would ever likely use it for...
 
If that 47C is your CPU temp, then you're perfectly OK. If it's the case temp you've got issues though. What are your system specs? CPU, motherboard, heatsink, video card, case, etc.
 
Sorry case temp is hitting 47C.... Running Asus P4B, P4 1.5G with stock heatsink/fan, ATI 9600SE Radeon vidcard, 512MB ram, WD 200GB drive, with one 80mm case fan in lower front of cheapo generic tan case....
 
If you can move that 80mm fan to the back of the case to exhaust the hot air and blow the dust out of your heatsinks 🙂.
 
If the 92mm fan doesn;t help and maybe you would want to get non-generic case such as Antec and so on forth. this should help your cooling issues, And also Mod a 80mm Torando Fan as your CPU Fan

No Tornados unless you like your ears to ring and bleed.
