New case? Let's get real here. I agree with blue - there's absolutely no reason to suspect the case yet. Just because the case currently only has a single rear fan is no reason to throw the case out. The mere fact that this case supports a front fan suggests a better than budget model.

And I agree with blue again - we're not talking high voltages here - no bug is going to short out the computer - unless it's mechanical and made of conductive material, or as blue suggests, just flew out of the bath without drying off first. And if it has time to build a nest or fan stopping web, then you have other problems.

Blasting a fan in the side is a valid troubleshooting method and temporary solution to inadequate ventilation. Yes, it is temporary, but still fine to do. The only problem with the desk fan is it may throw in a little more dust - but then again, I think it would have a hard time settling, and building up. The other issue with a desk fan would be electrical noise in the audio - but that would be easily detectable, and would cause no harm anyway.
