not unsafe
consider better case cooling

I have 4 case fans, 2 psu fans, a side fan, a vid card fan, and a Vantec Tornado for cpu...what more can my case ask for??? Plus my case is in open space...what's the optimal temp???

LIQUID COOLING USING DRY ICE AND A NON CONDUCTIVE LIQUID



seriosly though, consider fan placement

should have in the front of the case blowing over the HD's
one from the side blowing over the vid card
one/2/3 in the power supply blowing out
and a blow hole fan on the top of the case

if you can touch the HD and its not uncomfortable
the temp is fine

one on front bottom
one on front right below hdd and right above bottom one
one on side
one in back right below psu's fan
one right below that
one cpu fan which is next to the top two
one vid card fan
one psu fan back top right corner
one psu fan inside case

maybe I should grab a hdd cooler since there's not much room for a fan where the hdd is...any suggestions on one that does NOT take up a bay drive thing cause I'm all out of room???
