LOL Good one. But it being an HP and all, the Canadian Mounties wouldn't let it into the Country.

I have thought about adding extra fans, but I have seen in the past that they really do not make that much of a differance. I am running it now with the side cover ajar and that has lowered the temp a bit but not by much.

I am considering putting a mini fan down there and blow air onto it. This might be bad because it will increase the dust collection factor.

I could swap cases and go with a new case, but if I did that, I would void the warrenty at the moment.

I just added a new video card, a GeForce FX 5700. so when I shut the PC down to add the card, and pulled the case off I was amazed at how warm the air was inside. This prompted me to find out how hot the system was and the rest is forum history.

(OBTW, avoid Deus Ex IW for the time being, the graphics engine they have is really, I do mean this, Really bad. Looks like a cheap port from an X box game. The Graphics just don't look right. I'd wait for a few more patches before buying the game. Not that you guys would ever buy a game like this.)

SimCity 4 runs on it like a dream now.
