^Im guessing its your cpu temp thats running that high? I have the same mocoso case, but I am running a low power epia m10k system. Cpu temp is about 40C during the winter, which is not bad considering that the ventilation on this case isnt the best. Dont know what the temp will be when summer hits. The problem with this case seems to be that the air is blown across only the hard drive and power supply, but the cpu fan and the rest of the motherboard is sitting in stale air.

Unless you take off the two side panels, there really isnt anywhere to add fans. You would have to drill a fan hole into the case, preferably on the top of the case (I think you might have to mount the fan externally, there is no room). I couldnt find any hole saw adapters for my drill large enough for a 80mm fan, so Ive put off putting a fan on my case.
