These are the things I did:

1) Cut a blow hole for a 92mm Antec Smart fan up to 49CFM
2) Cut out the back stamped grill and added an 80mm Sunon
39 CFM fan for exhaust
3) Cut 2 big rectangular holes in the front BEZEL (Enlight 7237
case)
4) Added an Antec TP 430 Watt PS
5) Added an Ax-7 and Mechatronics Fan 53Cfm and 39Db w/ AS3
6) Added a PCI Antec Cyclone blower for additional exhaust
7) Drilled 8 1/8" holes in the plastic 5.25" plates on the bezel for
better airflow

MY CPU Temps before 57-60C
MY CPU Temps after 49-50C

Case Temps before 38-40C
Case Temps after 29-30C

Is the CPU temp ok ??
I was aiming for at least the middle 40's on the CPU
My case temp is ok...wish it was lower like around 25C and lower.
I will try this back at my APT. See if that helps

Oh...BTW I decided not to add the top exhaust hole to see what
this would do before I cut more holes.

Tell me what you all think :)

You dropped ur cpu temp by 10 degrees that pretty awsome. a case tempurature of 30 c is pretty decent too. What is the tempurature in ur room? The case tempurature can only differ a few degrees warmer then room temperature in most cases.

But all your tempuratures are good.

Looks good to me, and btw, that reminds me also that I should add some more fans to my poor duron system (it only has a CPU fan and then the one in the PSU). :)

Hey there,

I forgot to add I used AS3. The room I am in is pretty freakin hot. I sweat just from typing here. :D
There's a partial hole in the ceiling of the room I am testing this thing in. It happened when a new ceiling
fan was being installed........darn those attic beams :eek:
As you can see this lets in steady hot air not to mention our A/C bit the dust.
Have to wait to have that fixed....it's not as cheap as putting in a ceiling fan thats for sure.
Not to mention it gets worse as the comp stays on longer.

Here's a link to another person's case mod page. It's basically the same as what I did except for
these things:

1) Paint my case
2) Put Top Case Fan (Exhaust)
3) No side fans

Well, that's about it. Thanks for the replies. :)
