How does everyone cool their PC?

Since it's summer here now, every time i use my computer it start to lag because of the heat so i took off my tower case and placed a 15cm desk fan in front of my mobo to cool it.

How does everyone else cool their comp?

everyone has atleast 2 fans in their comp (CPU fan and powersupply fan)

If you use liquid nitrogen, i'm guessing you work for cray :wink:

Superfluid helium...runs that little P4 1.7GHz at 25GHz.

Just kidding...other than the PS fan, I've got 3 case fans plus 2 on the hard drives (5 7200RPM drives make a lot of heat!).

1 to 3 80mm intake fans depending on whether it's cold or hot.

1 80 mm fan aimed at the CPU/Viddy card.

1 underside harddrive cooler.

1 monitor cooler.

1 Enermax 350w PS (has 2 fans in it)
1 80mm intake
2 80mm fans modified to blow across cpu/mb & vid card ( I modified a "Card Cooler").

Plus a Golden Orb on P3 1ghz.

It's amazing what you can do with a cordless drill these days!
