Hey there, had a problem that's got me stuck, thought I'd shoot it out
and see if anyone could help.
My girlfriend has a homebuilt PC, which she keeps in the 'comp cubby'
that came with her desk, i.e. a small area under the desk where your
tower is supposed to go. Unfortunately, this cubby gets absolutely
zero airflow, so despite the fans (one on power supply, one for case
itself and the fan on the heatsink), the computer is overheating and
often shutting off erratically.
Yes, I realize the simple solution is to store the tower elsewhere,
but she doesn't want to do that (girlfriend logic is perplexing). SO,
I've been charged with solving this problem.
Simply: Is there any way to cool a comp that's in a tight spot, and
receives little airflow?
I did a quick search over at Newegg.com, and saw 'water cooling' and
'hard drive heatsinks', but I'm quickly moving out of my knowledge
zone, and don't want to waste money on something I don't need. If you
can help at all, I'd appreciate it. Cheers!

Get out your trusty 1 inch holesaw and proceed to cut holes anywhere in
that cabinet that's not visible from the front.
all of the dust bunnies that have built up in the pc.
