    Just the standard fans one in the front to bring air in and 2 on the back to push out the warm air.

    Nothing special. I need something though, My room is about 10 degrees hotter than the rest of the house :eek: and it never cools down even if i am gone and my comp is off for a week. I have a big ass shop fan, but it blows shit everywhere. The only place for me to put my comp is in a cubby (boxed in). Any1 got any suggestions on how to cool it. Don't really want to buy anything either


    My PS3 gets pretty hot too, but I'm getting a cooler from walmart for that

    I got the same problem longhornfreak. My room is like a sauna. What I do is: if you don't mind keeping you door open do that. Then open a window in your room and a window downstairs. It creates a nice breeze through your room :) Thats the only thing you can do unless you wanna buy some fans ;)

    I work in an air-cond room so I don't need a fan or cooler.

    Don't worry mates! Just immerse your CPU if it is a desktop and the entire machine if it is a notebook PC in to a tub full of ice water. Everything will be cooled automatically :)
