Case Moding a Supermicro SC-750

[Juniorwv]

I was wondering if someone could give me information or lead me to a good website that has details on moding a supermicro case. I would like to keep my case much cooler then what it is now (add more fans and etc). I just put together a 1.2 athlon w/ddr mem, asus A7m266 mobo, and a visiontek geforce2. Right now my processor varies between 47 and 52(and thats after i have played quake3) and my mobo ranges from 24 to 28 (which also depends on what i am doing) and thats from checking the asus probe that monitors the temp. Any info would be great i need some opinions. Thank you for the help fellas.

I've got the same case. My mobo temp is hovering at about 25 right now, and it might reach 28 or so under heavy load. CPU (Duron 700 @ 950) is about 34 at idle, and normally stays under 40 under full load. I've got a Taisol 742 cooling the CPU, 2 x 80mm fans in the front with average output, a PCI slot blower under the video card, and a 92mm fan in the top rear. Nothing special. I am trying to get quieter fans and will possibly mod the case to fit them (92mm x 92mm x 32mm fans in the front to replace the two 80mm), but am satisfied by the current performance. If you have any specific questions, post them here.

uh, 2 blowholes mounted to the side of the case. i have 2 120mm fans there now. one blows the slots, one blows the cpu...

seal the back grill area, and use that 60mm exhaust fan, or if you want, put a larger fan there.

have the fan on the hs of the cpu blow toward the cpu,... if you want to go an extra step, create a duct so the side mounted blowholes blow DIRECTLY at the fan of the HS...

after this, there is no real point in having the front 80mm fans at all =), unless you have drives in the HDD cage, in which case, one 80mm fan, or mode to put in a 120mm fan (tricky because of the holes there already...)
