I found this awesome case airflow guide on the net and thought i'd share it with you guys.

Right now, i'm going to try to make a plexiglas box with no bottom and missing one side, and then paste it onto my 90 hsf as the CPU duct. Then i'll try and move my raptor over a bit, so it isn't blocking the intakes as much. I want to see if I could maybe redrill the back of my case to fit a 90, so that I could get better negative pressure.

Good article there. I might spend some time improving the airflow in my case, although my temps are pretty good at the moment.

Same.

I'm doing it in hopes of OCing my cpu.
 
Thats a pretty good guide. When I first started reading it he talks about wanting a low pressure system and the first thing that comes to mind was air pockets of warm air and dropping dust. Generally if you have a even preasure system then you don't get buildups of hot air.

Of course he covers that later on pretty well by stating that the places where those pockets would be (CD-ROM area) don't have hot devices which is true generally. Although if you do have harddrives up there just make sure it has some kind of cooling to help it.
