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.
