controlling the computer case 'output' air.

theres no real way to do this, the air blowing out hot is a good thing as this means that its expelling heat from your case. in most uses this shouldnt be enough heat to make any differance in the temp of your room.

it does for me!!! when its cold.. it's nice in my room.. when its summer and hot out.. !!! i have to force myself to go on a bike ride or something cuz it sso darn hot in here.. but that cuz of monitor too..

I have been trying to make my motherboard temp (ASUS P4T) to come down from 34C when idle for a week now.

I had the same stuff inside a Xaser II and the temp was 24C idle or not.

I looks that the new position of the hdds is not good. I have 3 SCSIs and 1 ide, you can imagine the bunch of connection cables living in there. The room temperature must be around 20C.

What is more curious is that even with the side panel open, the temperature does not go down substantially.

BTW Thermaltake were nuts to lead the hdds so close to the side panel; it is very difficult to slide the panel close due to the cables and more due to the power cables hitting the panel.

Any ideas?

So all your comments range from "fans are not the answer" to varying the case pressure. This is interesting, however, I think my next possible solution for this problem is to get the ThermalTake Aquarius 2 cooling system. Several weeks ago, like i posted, i got a Thermaltake Xaser 3 case with 7 quiet fans. (my other computer only needs one of these coloured fans, and is super quiet, but with seven running at the same time, with the cpu fan, and the PS fan, it is negligible that the sound is overly quiet). Whatever..., So my new case has an option for the Aquarius 2 system, and I might go and get it to see if it will cool my output air.
***ps- with the 7 fans, my case temperature (according to the thermaltake display), is around 24-28 degrees celcius, or approx: 82.04F or 75.2F.
***(Plus- i have always used rounded computer cables, instead of the 'ribbon type' grey cables.)
***Also the case is pretty damn heavy!

There are fans you can attach into a pci slot it blows out the air

really nifty

all the fans bring in air
but some needs to get out
just put it right next to your cpu and your set!
