no, its a strange design. It's a desktop HTPC style case ,the PSU is situated at the front of the case, next to the optical drives.

Anyway, i have since turned round the fans on the case (i got the measurements wrong, they are actually a 92mm rear exhaust and a 80mm side exhaust). The lid is sitting off too at the moment, bu i am sure you can appreciate that this looks damn ugly in the living room

temperatures are now hovering around 50-55C, so a slight improvement. i've disabled the annoying audible alarm too, so at least we can blow the cpu up in peace

[edit] oh and the PSU fan blows out of the side, rather than the front
