@ARBuilder1776 Thanks! It's my wife's home business computer and she needed something small and compact because of her limited desk space.. I didn't want to spend extra money if I didn't have to so a simple fan mod was good enough and it definitely keeps it cooler now.
On mine to help keep it cool, I just have the 3 1/2 drive cover off, for the price of this system I am happy with it, I paid less than 200 bucks over 3 years ago on amazon, I am now in the procces of buyin 8 gigs of ram to max it out and replace the old, since it is so cheap, then A solid state drive
Nice work! But what if we wanna install another graphics card?
I have removed my Floppy disk cover and soon i will install a big 14 CM Fan on top of it. I have found an power source. I have made a extra USB Port inside the computer so i can put the cable in.
@rvr2 Nice Work m8 But to make things neater you could just splice in to the 12v molex from the DVD ROM , then you wouldn't have that long usb cable out side your case :)
@rvr2 Hmm too bad, I'm purchasing a similar machine and am trying to figure how to implement a cooling solution. I was thinking it might be possible to get a Y Splitter for the Sata power and then a Sata -> Molex adapter - from there on it would be pretty easy as you can daisy chain molex.
You might just be better off buying a case that will hold that mother board. Most come with free fans now. Xoxide....com is a good place to get one.

You Can try, Disconnecting the blue wire going to the main fan

@Knuckles1111111111 There was no 'main fan' on this.. Only the power supply fan (hence the reason I did the fan mod..)

@IntraxProductions Thanks! Yeah that's the drawback.. You lose the ability to install a video card with this fan mod..
Nice! Your fan mod should suffice.

@Tayf321 Yes, but in the SFF models like the one shown, you have to use half-height cards.

@Sidpardo Um.. Which fan are you referring to?
There's only the CPU fan and a power supply fan.. No case fan at all in mine before the mod..
