I have an Antec LAN case (the glossy black model) with a single large whisper quiet fan at the back. 2.8GHZ P4, 1-SATA, 2 IDE 7200rpm Maxtor's, plus DVD and CD burners. Never had temp problems. Best case I ever owned. About ready to install a second SATA drive.
The cpu is running 31C at idle and up to 40C under load. The P4C800 mobo seems to stay at 30.
Second box is a Lian-Li with an Asus AV78X and a 1.8GHZ AMD ship.
hotter. cpu idles at 51C and goes to 55C under load. Mobo 34C
Use the stock cpu mounted fan in both cases.
