Okay I have a standard Antec case (Lanboy) and I'm modding the hell out of it. As for cooling I've modded the back for a 92mm fan and I'm moved the PSU up to the front (under the HD rack). I've seen my temps drop from above 50c to an average of 40c, when it gets hot the temp reaches 52-55 but I can't honestly say what it was before since I never noticed (but it was above 50c).

I'm still modding and I haven't finished, I plan on putting a Lian-Li HD rack in the back where the PSU was with another 92mm pulling air away form the HDs and finish off the PSU by mounting it agianst the front of the case acting as an intake and putting a 120mm blow hole.

While my CPU and case temps are better I've had to remove the side panel since it's not totally stable (heat wise) I'm wondering if you guys have an criticism or suggestions for it. Do you think that having the PSU in the front will cause heat related problems? I've already noticed that the MCP-T chip is getting pretty damn hot now and needs a heatsink (then again it always needed a HS)?

Hardware: 1900+ Athlon XP, Speeze cooler, Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe, 300w Antec PSU, one WD 120GB HD.
