fans and cooling

[Josh Coffman]

There are already two holes on the inside of the desk, by my feet.
Probably need to make those bigger. And I was thinking of putting a
fan in the top one. Also, upgrade the front, back, and cpu fans. I'm
not sure that would be enough air flow.

Anyone seen a desktop inside an enclosure and how it was cooled? This
box has an AMD X2 and a nvidia 7600 so it can get warm.
