My office gets rather hot.. It's smaller and with the big system and two monitors the room can get 78-80 real fast.. doesn't help that it has almost reached 95 here already, so 120 isn't far away.

My system has a cone that sticks out of the case for the processor and another air trap on the door.. an outside 6" fan blows air into the case that way. Then 3 more 6" fans inside the case. One pulls air over the hd's, the other over the board, and a heat escape fan on top.

In my office I have a breeze fan thing to blow air from the hallway into the office.. With everything running I can keep the office about 1-2 degrees warmer than what the rest of the house is set at.

This is my last ditch effort to cool my machine down before I change it out for a water cooled system. The processors naturally run hot as hell already. When the office hits about 80f the processors reach about 80c - and everything restarts.
