Guys who own a TT Lanbox, can you tell me what type of cooling setup you're using?
Do you have all three fans in the back, plus which way are they going (in/out) and the front 80mm fan... in our out? I'm thinking of reversing my airflow (from front -> back) because I have a really hot 4850 and Phenom 9950 up there that are hitting some high temps. My Phenom with the 8700CNPS NT is hitting around 59c after 15 minutes on prime 95. I'm using IC Diamond 7, and that's a REALLY high temp. It's the same as the stock cooler, so my first idea is the air cooling isn't doing jack schitt.
 
1 front in, with both grills removed, and hdd cage removed.

3 out. The 3rd really helped for GPU temps.

Mount your PSU with the fan up - it might help with the CPU temps. If your PSU and CPU are fighting for air, that's not going to do much good.
 
1 in 4 out, was going to have 3 in 4 out but I scrapped my mod project for the Qmicra. Was going to cut the top panel to fit 2 80mms blowing in; already cut an extra 80mm at the back to vent. Might restart the project again if I ever find time for it, however unlikely that may be..

Rear fans are 3 60x10mm and 1 80x15mm.

First thing I did after installing my aftermarket CPU cooler.
I'll have to try the 1 in 3 out and see how it goes. Those stock TT 60mms totally suck.

Same here, except I didn't remove the grills. I think taking the HDD cage out of this case is pretty much mandatory for cooling purposes.
 
Not necessary to remove the HD cage. Shoving an Enzotech Ultra with a fan in between fins blowing down with PSU fan facing up provided enough cooling for 4GHz. No way I would sacrifice HD space.
