Quick one for ya'll. Have a PC here im going to put in my parents sun room. Built it a while back and the specs are as follows:
Antec KS382 case
Abit VH6II w/Pentium 1.0Ghz
512Mb Crucial 133 clk2
ATI Radeon 7000
Maxtor 30Gb HDD
Imation 12x10x32 CDRW
Soon to be Linksys Wifi NIC

The cooling is as follows:
Antec PSU one exhaust fan
Some cheap antec HSF combo 5000rpm
One Exhaust case fan.

Temps are 24cpu 22case idle 30cpu 26case under load.
The room temp in this "Sun Room" on a summers day can reach upwards of 110 degrees. What if any recommendations can you give me to have a easy go of it. Should I add an intake fan blow hole or both? Will I be ok with what I have now????? By the By AS3 on the HS and temps have been measured with MBM and VIA HWM and bios.

Does it HAVE to be in the "sun room"?

EDIT: You could get a different Antec case, like one of the Performance series with the 120mm intake an exhaust to help things out. They're like $60 or so with a 350 watt PSU

yeah It has to be in the "Sun Room" where they keep all their papers and do all their banking work and what not. The room does have a register (central air)so I could put the case there but in the winter that would suck also...... The only thing that scares me is that they once showed me candles that melted in there one hot afternoon:eek: I think I might just get a new case. Thanks Burke.
