1. AC is not mandatory!
2. Cutting of cabinets is not needed(if the cabinet already has space for attaching fans)
So before u buy a new cabinet do look out for :
Front side intake fan space
Rear Hot Air Outlet Fan Space just below SMPS
Optional:
Side Panel Intake Fan space
Chimney (on top of cabinet for outlet)

my cabinet doesnot have a space on the front side...damn!. I currently have 2 fans (exhaust) on the side panel (right side) and a space for another fan below the smps
I was thinking of changing the arrangement....I think i should be going for inlet fans(2) on the side panels and add one fan as an exhaust below the SMPS ...
What about the power connection ?...i have no extra connectors...how do we go about this now...

I think the 2.5gm tube has enough paste to be applied about 12 times - you have to apply a small amount here is what what Artic Silver say .... "Only a small amount of Ceramique is needed, about the size of an uncooked grain of short-grain white rice"
I would suggest you read this page from AS carefully speacially the parts pertaining to cleaning of the surfaces....

Its a long time after which i revive this thread. The thing is that i went to comp. dealer to get a fan . I already have 2 fans at the side panel which are exhausts so i thought i would get another one fixed below the smps which would add as exhaust and the two at the side panel which would function as inlet to ensure ventialation through the cabinet . My comp. vendor says there is nothing such as inlet fans . Only exhausts available . But in this thread i have read many a times about using inlet fans.
So i just reversed the direction of exhuasts on the side panel so they could act as inlet ( or atleast push the air so ithe hot aire reaches the exhaust speedily )and attached a fan (as exhuast ) below the smps fan. Is this arrangement ok ?
Are there special kinds of inlet fans . If yes how much would they cost ?
P.S. If any body knows some good shops here in hyd please advise

No pain....No gain
Well I use a 120mm fan on the side panel as inlet, just reversed the fan and it became inlet. One more thing u could do is make a blowhole with a fan on top of ur cabinet. Remember hot air rises.
My pc fan arrangement are as follows:
1 Front Intake
1 Side Intake
2 Back Outlet including SMPS fan.
I Blowhole on top.
My AMD64 3000+ overclocked to 2.7Ghz max @ 54C.

Are u using pc3200 ram ??? i mean if ur ddr400 mem. is running at ddr385 ur actually loosing a lot of bandwidth ... about 70-100 MBps ... Also ... ur fsb is set to 300 ?? thats means u can't really use the HHT multiplier more than 4 ??? i suspect it to be 3 .... if thats so ... ur actually loosing out a lot there too ... Dude ... have u benched ur pc with and without oc ??? I really want' to see the diff. .. could u pm me the results ....
Ok .. about the cooling in my case .. here goes :
Front : 2 80mm intake (1 in the hdd cage)
Rear : 1 120mm outtake (tricool) , VCool , 2 in the smps (1 temp. activated)
Side : 1 80mm outtake (covering about 2 cm over the cards , near the hdd cage)
Here are my load temps : Processor - 46c , Motherboard - 36c , 120 GB PATA - 37c , 200 GB SATA - 36c , GPU Core - 60c , GPU Ambient - 42c
Now when i switch on the ac .. just beside the computer .. the results are : Processor - 43c , Motherboard - 32c , 120 GB PATA - 32c , 200 GB SATA - 32c , GPU Core - 56c , GPU Ambient - 38c ...
Currenty i'm using local 80 mm fans for the front intake and the side outtake ... which i will replace soon by Antec 80 mm fans .. about 15 cfm increase in airflow ... that should bring down the temps a little bit more ... Also i plan to replace the cpu stock heat sink with a Vapochill Xtreme .... mmm ... that'd bring down the cpu temps by another 10c ....

I think u r much bothered about ur CPU... THTS good...
when u will add Vapochilll u say it will bring down the temperature by 10 c
so accordingly it will becme 32 c...
thts grt
wht r the price of vapochill....
@every one....
is there any one having their PC temperature below 25c
i hope its hardly possilbe.....
