I bought myself a radial fan[1,2] and mounted it on the PCI socket side,
directly at the case top (a little bit of epoxy glue is enough)
to blow the air out of the case. This is quite enough to keep my system
cool even on hot summers (eg up to 35°C ambient). There is some
noise, but not too much. If you dont have a PCI card mounted, i recommend
getting a thicker one than the 8mm one i bought. For more air flow and/or
slower rotating speed and thus less noise.

The trouble with you, Shev, is you don't say anything until you've saved
up a whole truckload of damned heavy brick arguments and then you dump
them all out and never look at the bleeding body mangled beneath the heap
