Any of you guys have any thoughts on how to get some decent airflow in an aspire x-qpack microatx? Prettty packed with a 7800gt, floppy, dvd, 520 psu.
one 120mm fan in the rear and imma put one of those pci slot fans in there.

Fold all your cables like HD and floppy drive, cut out the fan grill on the 120mm in the back and if you can make some more holes under the case where the motherboard sits, there should be enough room to let air come in there.

thanks i will have to look into that. I forgot where but somewhere in this forum someone posted a link of a really sexy looking qpack with water cooling.

cutting out the back grill won't bring you much if anything at all as it's made out of the open flow honey comb mesh. and you need to be careful cutting/drilling holes under the MoBo as the board sits on a removeablr tray. I would put a side intake fan on the left side window though, I think that would help out the most................
