Just to put some perspective on this; when hub went under last weekend it had what I call a 5.25" full-height fan assembly (two slightly offset 3" high-speed muffin fans) at the top of the tower running exhaust. This is about as much air as you can move through such a case (you pull all the spare I/O shields to get enough air in) without going to a mains-powered axial blower (and I left all mine back in .au). Basically, we've reached the point where we have to get serious, and with some help it looks like we can.
