atleast get a nice looking fan and maybe raise up the PC with a phone book or 2 so it can be at the height of the fan

Welcome to The Forums!
But yeah, this should be in Cooling.
And you need to update the ghetto quotient, man!
Folks in here regularly do caseless systems, carboard boxes, zip-tied fans, box fans instead of the side panel and more, lol.
And I haven't even brought UP some of the case mods that look they were done by merely ripping apart the metal with brute strength instead of a cutting tool!
If you want to go for Ghetto Gold around here, you have to do some pretty ugly, cheap and cheasy stuff to catch up with teh rest of us....
But you are started on your way! 
You'll get the hang of where to post stuff before long, but the general idea is to keep things in the most appropriate area for the thread- since this is about Ghetto Cooling, the Cooling Section is the best fit.
If you were to post about using pliers to rip an airflow hole in a side panel (done it) then it would go in Alternative Modding, and so on.

i used a big fan like that once but it was made of metal because my grandmother owned it and its like 25 years old
he should dismantle the fan from its holder and duct tape straight to the case for the uber ghetto look

Isn't that too close to your monitor? Looks like it'll get annoying if its that close.
Did you remove the other side panel on the other side so air would go right through? I have a small fan simliar to that, but I only blow it from the front of the case because the case is in one of those desk computer compartment things with a door.

naww...
My heatsink fan broke, thats why Im using it..
Its an emachines if u can tell... I OC'd it like 200 Mhz... Not that big of difference.
Actually, to keep it cool with that fan I had to underclock it. way down to like 1.5 Ghz... lol

That's like, overkill for a HDD, lol. I don't think heatsinks are even needed on a HDD, a simple fan would be enough, but at least that's "ghetto".

haha i do that when benching since i only have the stock cooler on my 3000+ venice, getting speeds above 2.7ghz on it its kinda hard without a big burly desk fan blowing into the case.. that and the chipset gets damned hot being at 300+HTT and having the heat from the gfx dumped on it
Careface*

LOL I remember when I used one of those for cooling as well. I used it to cool my Pentium 60 when I bumped it up to a blazing 66 MHZ LOL. I got and upgraded one now, (oh yeah and a computer too. )
J/K I used this setup for a few days last year to do some testing with an 1100 CFM fan.

Cxrazy,
as (self proclaimed) "Ghetto Ghod of Overkill Cooling" i would like to welcome you to the OC Forums...
......
BRING IT!!!
......
you should probably replace your HSF... or... take the old fan off and duct-tape a nice big loud new fan to the old heat sink
EDIT:
the diamond in my ghetto ghod crown is the fact that that IS the legendary Delta GFB1212VHW fan.
(thanks SSS / E.C.!!)
