Right now I have 1 80mm pulling cold air in, than 1 90mm(not sure on that) pulling the hot air out and the processor is about 50-60C, so with the 2 fans in the front and then the 1 fan on the side, than the one fan in the back, I'm guessing it'd be somewhere between 35-50C. Also, I was thinking about getting a new cooling compound for the processor, any suggestions? I'm thinking about Arctic Silver. Also, the fan for my Pentium D 805 could be a lot quieter, I know adding three more fans is going to be loud, so it would help to get that a little quieter.
Lol, no your cooluing solution described there would not make it too cool in there. In fact its still relatively hot in there. CPU's and other components are perfectly capable of running at way below -100*c (hence liqud nitrogen cooling), a standard peltier cooler at say 150w would cool an average CPU to aroun 1*c

35-50*c is not cold by any stretch of the imagination.
