My cpu just hit 70c+ after 3 hrs driving on a road trip. The trunk where my case is located was stuffed with luggage (so poor ventilation).

So now I am thinking about mounting an 80mm fan to the surface of the case. But I think the hole saw would just make a big mess from the heatsink-ish extrusions from the case. Maybe I will just end up improvising some type of cardboard ducting so that the cpu fan draws cool air directly from the outside rather than circulating the same inside stale air.

Anyone have any pics of fans added to their case?
