    Cleaning

    Get 99 % alcohol at pharmacy and your Q-tips at the same time. Don't get 70 % alcohol, it can leave moisture on components.

    What do you think?

    I have the case your considering(X navigator) and love it. Mine is black with silver bezels(black & blue bezels come with it) More features with this case than any other i could find. A true gaming case, it still would not look out of place in an office etc.

    which case should i get?....

    Well the Aspire X Navigator w/ 500 watt psu/w 5 fans and room for the sixth is also a good choice. As far as cooling your system , the X navigator is the best on the market, period www.aspireusa.net

    seemingly excessive heat

    Those temps are too high. Your cpu will have its lifespan drastically reduced. Your probably right on the case being a contributing factor. What size case, how many and location of fan, exhaust/intake? Have you cleaned the fans recently?

    What to buy in HK

    I don't know about prices but you should try and find out about warranty? Will airport security equipment harm motherboards or other components. What duties have to be paid? How much?

    ok im new, and having cooling problems...

    Your temps are way to high... For example; This pc has a 3.0E(Prescott) and a Intel d865perl mb and as I type this the cpu is sitting on 29C. And that with a stock h/s, fan and thermal pad(same idea of thermal paste). Heat will shorten the lifespan of your cpu dramatically.

    Electric tape to bind wires?

    Small plastic electrical ties are great. The excess can be snipped off. They can be found in various colors also. Super glue,crazy glue eats rubbber, I'd avoid using it.

    ok im new, and having cooling problems...

    Your going to have to remove all thermal paste and reapply proper amount. The h/s and fan have to be properly in place or you'll burnt out your cpu shortly. No cable ties,vice grips, welding etc.

    Whats my real temp?

    17C for a running porcessor is not accurate. If I shut down overnight andcomponents cool, upon startup cpu and Hdd should read the same,consisant with house temps, slowly increasing.

    Did I make a huge mistake?

    I would not be depending on a second psu fan as a significant factor is maintaining proper temperatures within. If it was, it's not saying much for the other case cooling equipment..I wouldn't be worrying to much about it.

    Cleaning Time

    Removeing that "grime" off the fan blades is necessary to get maximum fan performance. Q-Tips dabbed in alcohol is the only way I found to do it properly and can be time consuming. Recently I cleaned my front intake fan and lowered my cpu temp by 7C..Well worth the effort
