    Default Case location

    Well, I sure haven't been here in a while.

    Anyway, im wondering what would be the best location for my computer case as it gets quite a bit toasty under my desk.



    Would it be better off on top of the desk? There is still a sleight overhang above where hot air could be trapped, but not as substantial below. I could always mode something up with my spare case fans lying around and get air out of there, but im not sure. What would you guys suggest?

    If that space is large enough to fit all four feet on the desk, then go for it. Your hands might get a bit warm though while typing. Your best bet would be to tilt it out slightly so all that hot air has somewhere to go.

    Tilt it out where exactly? While on top of the desk?

    Nah. Right where it is. Just tilt the back to the right a little.

    I bought a Honeywell Turbofan to
    keep my computer cool over the summer.
    Looks like this:
