So I have started finishing the basement and I have placed my case inside of a wood cabinet and run the cords up through the top and zip tied everything and all the cords and UPS are completely out of the way.
My studio monitor speakers and stereo receiver are up on the countertop since I haven't been able to mount those speakers up where I want them due to their size (infinity studio monitors)
I've run into a heat issue when the cabinet door is closed so I'm going to put a 120mm case fan mounted on the cabinet door with the side panel off.
My monitors are going to be up on the wall soon and I'm carpeting the basement this weekend so that when I'm in charge of the kids I'll still be able to do things like homework safely...
Radeon 4890
I5-660 (will be upgrading to I7-8XX soon enough
Anybody got some suggestions to help me keep the system fairly cool? I'm considering a 7750 but I'd rather not sidestep in performance just for heat considerations.
I'll post some pics of the current setup but a new desk is a way higher priority than oddball parts
