Ok I have been getting alot of lock ups lately and I think it might be cause of bad cooling. So here is my plan please take a look and tell me what you think. The front fan will be a 120mm 131c.f.m and the two leading in to the rig from the bottom will be two 80mm 50c.f.m. fans. I'll be hot wiring a 250 watt P.S.U. to power them.
think you could squash that into a .JPG?
A .99MB .bmp is a bit much for those of us on dialup.

How do I do that. Never mind I resized it.
even the most basic 3rd party graphics utility should be able to do it. Hell, IE can do it. Open it in IE, and 'Save As...' a .jpg file.
hey, that'll do!
Looks OK to me man- I don't see any obvious weirdness. The bottom intakes are cool, I hope it is raised off the ground enough to work. Also- you might need more output, unless you are trying to get a pressure differential.
Either way, I bet it works fine!:)

I have a Sparkle 300 watt P.S.U. and all the ends are in use right now. I'll only be using the 250 watter til I can get a 400 or 4500 watter.

At the top of my case I have about 50 or so holes drilled so air will be able to get out from there.

Sorry make that 94 holes. They are about 1/8 to 1/4" each.
christ that must have taken forever! do all those holes really help you? I used duct tape and covered all the holes in mine, and it helped my flow a lot.
course my case is pretty much the standard ATX, you got the cool bottom holes!:)

Well the holes were hole when I was watercooling. I had my Rad on top with three 80mm fans on it. Now that I don't use watercooling the are still there so.
