I agree with everything except this statement:
, I'd suggest you remove (or just unplug) the
exhaust fan to lower the case temp.

Removing the exhaust fan will definitely increase his Case Temp.
He needs to be sure that the airflow going in is slightly better than the airflow going out.
This will result in Positive Pressure which will keep dust out as well as keep the case cooler.
Pushing 60CFM of air in and removing 50cfm as an example


Exactly. That's why I suggested unplugging the exhaust fan. Right now, I think he's got two or three out and one in (depending on how the PSU is configured). So he's got negative pressure. To get to positive pressure, the least he should do is unplug an exhaust fan. Maybe add another fan to pull air into the case, as well.

But again, I don't think he's got a case temp. problem at all. -Dave
