New System Useing old case.

[Gary1951]

I'm getting ready to completely redo my system. I have a 875 P4 3.2 now and moving to a new Quad System. I have a Antec Sonata II case and would like to keep it but need to try and make it cool better. It has the original Antec 120 fans it it now and I have thought about getting some high cfm 120 fans and putting in it. Do any of you have any good Ideas as far as Modding it to make it cool better? Any thoughts would be appreciated Thanks in advance.

It really depends on how much modding you want to do, and if you wanna oc, etc.

High cfm fans are a good start. If you dont mind hacking into the case, you might want cut an actual fan hole into the front of the case instead of having a fan sit behind the hdd rack. This will allow for force intake of cool air. Beyond that, standard mods like a blow hole and a side panel intake would only boost the cooling capacity. Maybe get a system cooler to mount in a PCI slot.
