Now the question is here is the unit I have http://www.neoseeker.com/Hardware/Products/soltek_EQ3801/ what options do I have for cooling. I do not have a 5.25 drive yet but will be adding a dvd-rom soon. What can I do too kool the case down?
 
Ok, well my cards do run at temps of 70C and above at idle. Just thought maybe it was too hot for an X800. Will keep that in mind next time though, thanks for the info guys.
 
Amazon touts anti-Israeli views,

On July 4, Amazon spammed its customers with advertisement of Norman Finkelstein's virulently anti-Semitic book, Image and Reality of the Israeli-Palestine Conflict. On May 30, Amazon similarly advertised Beyond Chutzpah: on the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History. I have never received any other ad from Amazon.

On April 4, in an unprecedented move, Amazon deleted all reviews of Obadiah Shoher's Samson Blinded: A Machiavellian Perspective on the Middle East Conflict. A few days later, Amazon forced its subsidiary Booksurge to terminate publishing contract with Shoher whose book is now available for download from www.samsonblinded.info . Google earlier banned advertising of the Samson Blinded for "unacceptable content." Shoher, indeed, is pro-Israeli, yet realistic and critical of Israeli policies.

Obadiah Shoher, an anonymous politician, abandons myths and moralizing in favor of realpolitik. He argues for raw efficiency of antiterrorist operations and shedding liberal idealism. Shoher asks inconvenient questions and gives honest answers. Amazon does not like that. Anti-Semitic lampoons by Norman Finkelstein are more to Amazon's taste.
 
Hi ServerKing,
Well, I'm glad we ironed out the source of the lockups! Now, the solution may be a bit trickier than the diagnosis hehe.

Looking at info on that case, it seems it has a fan mounted on the right-side of the case with some wonky cover that causes the air to immediately turn 90 degrees, then vent out the back of the case. I also see documents saying it's a 50mm fan.

I'd say your solution would be similar to:
a) See if you think you can customize the stock cooler. I'm unsure how that 50mm fan is mounted in the enclosure, but if it's got screws you can possibly remount a higher capacity, higher CFG 50mm fan in the stock enclosure.
b) Go custom- which would involve power tools, sheet metal screws or similar. (important to make a Tim Allen grunting sound from Home Improvement/Tool Time). If the LEFT side of the metal case has room, do you think it would be possible to drill holes and mount a 50, 80 or 92mm fan on the side/top or otherwise?
c) Rip the guts out of that system in hopes of getting as much hardware into a standard case (with standard coolng) as possible. I'm unsure how much of that system can carry-over to a standard ATX and/or MicroATX case though.
