temps werent to bad anyway,but i decided to mod a bit.i replaced both side panels with a wire mesh that i painted and clear coated.also added a 120mm fan on the side with the video card.my video card idles like a cpu now at 33c.the cpu idles at 20c,and the hard drive temps dropped rather drastically as well.

yeah not bad at all ive just always liked these little cases.the size of these things always make them a project if ya got one.the really only negative to one is when ya do anything to it.you must tear it down to do anything but oh well.
