Not necessarily "cheap", but certainly not designed for modern systems. If the case was intented for a P2 or AMD-K6, a heatsink on the processor and a fan on the power supply was, in most cases sufficient. Since I'm sure that you have a fan in your power supply that blows out, if you can somehow mount a fan ant the lower front of your case below the drive bays, you should see some improvement in temperature.
