I've had my Uneec (sp) branded Antec SX1030 clone case for a while now, and it looks like I need to change out some of my 80mm fans. I did consider jumping to a new case, specifically the Antec Six Hundred, but then I reconsidered--partially because 4 new 80mm fans is cheaper than a new case (however sexy that might be) and that the door lock is a nice deterrent against my 17-mo. :D I want to make it more resistant to dust intake, but I'm not quite sure on how to rig up some foam in the front.

Secondly, I have a Gigabyte N650-SLI board in this rig that has a passive cooler on it. I have a Vantec Iceberq copper chipset heatsink I have lying around that I'm thinking of using to replace the stock passive cooler on there since the 'sink gets rather toasty. The system has been stable, but, yeah, I might burn a finger as warm as it gets.

Yeah, I'd like to completely upgrade, but bills need to be knocked out of the way first.
