So I have a case...and it has no fans. Now bare with me. I'm planning to get a new case in about, I'd say 1-3weeks. A case with FANS! I'm wondering if I can use a standing fan that blows really chilly to cool my computer? I'm afraid of the overheat. I saw some dust on my hardware when I opened it about a couple of days ago. Cleaning it soon. Thanks for the replies in advance.

Yes, beware of dust and other stuff flying into your computer though, especially if you have pets or small children around.
