I actually went out and bought a new case today @ CompUSA. It's a mid-priced midtower case, has both a side & top window, takes 4x80mm fans up front, 2x80mm in back, 1 80mm side, and 1 80mm top. Right now, I have 7 80mm fans in it (only one front slot isn't used right now). As well as doing this, my friend gave me his old HSF from his Barton 2700 today since he bought a TT Volcano 11. My system specs are as follows:
Asus A7N8x-deluxe
Athlon 2000+ (Palomino core)
1 x 512MB Corsair 3200LL RAM
WD800JB 80gb 8mb cache HD
Powercolor Radeon 9700 OEM (between non pro and pro speeds)
Ben-Q 56x CD-ROM
Artec 52x translucent CD-RW
About the only reliable temperatures I can get right now are CPU & HD... my case temp sensor does not work anymore on my board for whatever reason. CPU runs @ 44C idle, 49C load... HD is about 24C or so most of the time... My case comes with a front LCD display with a temperature diode attatched that I stuck to my northbridge heatsink just for fun... it read about 99.5F under load. Mind you, my old setup ran about 60C under load and about 53C at idle, so this is a huge difference. I'm happy, to say the least.
