I have a P4 3.4ghz on a stock cooler. It runs hot (hits 80degrees C in bios not but 2min after start up). I am using an matx case. Without replacing the case, what would be the best way to lower the noise output of the system and temperatures in the case?
My case is:

I have thought about these items to help, do you agree?

- mounting one or two of those in the front of the case and drilling a few holes behind the handle?

- I'm not sure if there would be a way to place holes in the plastic window on the side for that last one.
I am looking for case-mod ideas or if you know a small and relatively cheap (emphasis on relatively) water cooling system I could use in it that would be great.
Oh yeah, my free space is tight because the psu cables are very un-bendable and take up much space. I'm using an ultra x-connect...
thanks people.
