I'm new at this and would like to know how to cool my Enlight 7237 case I need to know where to place and the size of the fans . The case came with one fan in the lower front.
Don't want to fry things if possible.
 
That is the same one I am using. Ditch that fan that came in the front and get something with a little more ummphh. As a matter of fact, get two and put the other one on the rear just below the PSU.

Hoot
 
I have the same case. I also replaced the stock front one with a stronger fan. Then placed a powerful 80mm in the spot right below the Power supply sucking out. It is also a good idea to drill out those little pin holes in the bottom of the front cover. They are useless for airflow the way they come. I widened them to about 6mm and it helped my temps alot. Recently I also cut out a whole on the side of the case for an 80mm fan blowing right over my PCI and agp slots. With each additional fan that I added, my system and CPU temps dropped 1-2C, with a total drop of about 5-7C
 
Hey mike, here is what I did with my Enlight 7237. I mounted a 120mm Nidec 112CFM fan in the front. I also drilled all the pin holes in the front of the case out to .240" (just shy of 1/4 inch).
 
I just started a case mod on my enlight 7237 and I also drilled out the holes in the front but I put a 92 mm sunon and am going to add a extra fan to the back to have 2 I also clipped the grill off on the ps and put a cage
but what do you think of this idea Since my puter sits on a little table next to my desk I was going to extend the feet by about 1/2" or so and put one or 2 120mm bolted through the bottom with filters has anyone toyed with that idea yet? Maybe directed right at the processor .

Can you explain
" I also clipped the grill off on the ps and put a cage "
would like to know what that means
 
He probably used tin snips or wire cutters to remove the perforated metal circle that covers the power supply fan output and replaced it with a less obstructive metal grill like you see on case fans.

Hinge out
 
ok i am thirteen years ol i have no cutiing metal experience
and i want to make my case cool better i think i am going
to take the cover off first of all
and for the least amount of money cool a duron 850 which will be overclocked to its highest
