Nervous
OK... I got a Cooler Master CAV-T03 case or something like taht. It's got one 80MM intake on the front, 1 80mm intake on the side, and a 120 mm exhaust on the back. Basically, I want to add an 8800gtx card to this case... but was worried about cooling issues. My 7600GT now idles at 55 C. I am worried that my airflow isn't good enough. My wires are tucked away good. Think it will provide adequate airflow? AND btw, doesn't the video card channel it's own air out of the back of the computer..

You should be fine, my friend built one with 120mm intake and output, and a 90mm as the third fan, and it's fine. And yes, that card does exhaust out the back.

Yeah, don't worry...that case looks to have very good cooling capabilities...it's a "Cooler Master" (master of cooling) isn't it?

Well I looked at the difference in just building a completely new computer. Afterall I am replacing the video card, processor, power supply, and ram so that's basically a whole computer right there short of a few other things that are relatively cheap. At first I was going to take the parts out I was replacing and just dump them in a new case, mobo, dvd rom, and hd but I figure it's only about a 200 dollar difference. Might as well just build a completely new one instead of swapping in and out.
