DIY Techno-hacksOld hard drive platters make wonderfully good drinks coasters - they look dead smart and expensive and you've stopped people reading your old data into the bargain.
Have you taped all your remotes together, peep-show-style? Have you wired your doorbell to the toilet? What enterprising DIY have you done with technology?
Extra points for using sellotape rather than solder.

Me also.Is there a better, more permanent solution to this? Short of replacing the whole chassis?

Iwould replace the GPU fans and the PSU fan/heatsink, maybe spend £40. Then replace your case fans with some faster (or intelligent) ones. Clean out all the dust that will have accumulated (including heatsink and PSU fan) with compressed air or strong lungs. Shouldn’t have any issues really, my Quad with stock PSU and 4 case fans rarely goes above 40 degrees, though no SLi.

There is!!I used a hair-dryer on the slowest setting with the 'cool' button taped down. Twas a bit noisy at first, but then I 'found' 40ft of flexihose at work.
A bit more tape and the hair-dryer was at the other side of the house.
