    Finally got my htpc "mod" finished. Needed to make some extra room for the gfx passive cooler. Only fan in the case is placed in the bottom. (what originally was the right side.)

Old cooler with fan, temps 60 degrees in load, without fan and added extra alu part, over 85, now it seems to be near 72 in the load, and its noiseless. Gfx is hd 3650.
