Computer/Case Cooling
Yes, the old chestnut of the computer running quite hot and the overheat alarm coming on.... anyway i've attached a little diagram of what is currently in the system.

The CPU HSF is the stock one that comes with the sempron processor, and the other two fans came with the case and are for quietness as well as coolness.

The two pci slots that aren't taken up have vented covers on them (pci slot covers with holes in).

So, is there any way i could improve the airflow/cooling of my system? its annoying when watching tv . there are about 16 power connectors left so plenty of room to put more fans in, i'm just not sure about whether there are specifics for airflow etc. Currently it's idling and the CPU is at 55C and the case at 50C, with the lid taken off....
