Reviews on a case that I am going to buy say that the case has weak 120mm fans. What would be the CONSEQUENCES of just removing one side panel and blowing air into the computer with just an old fashion (non-computer) fan?You POSTED this elsewhere already. If that is the solution, and you haven't even got it, you need to just get a well designed case and avoid this, whatever it is.

You could try this solution, or create some ducting directly from the air conditioning vent, but a wiser purchase seems soooooo obvious. What is it, a real cool style, but not cool in temps?Fans smans. Ive tried lots of ways for extra cooling. I read that when you don't have a side you get hot spots on the board but I don't really buy that and have had very little TROUBLE. I alway pull the side of the the PC so its easy to work on.
I little table fan works good. For a super cheap and quiet fan Ive used a bathroom ceiling vent fan with some FLEX tubing . I have also tore out old PS fans and hung them with wire so they blew on the video card or what ever.
