My case is a Silverstone Temjin 01. Lately I upgraded to a Geforce 5900, Athlon XP 2500+ Barton, WD 80GB 7200RPM, and kept my old LG dvd/cd-rw and Asus A7v8x-x Mobo. Since I upgraded, I was getting lockups at random times while playing games (AAO, Planetside more specifically). So I decided to order some cooling devices. I ordered a Thermaltake Silent Boost, some Artic Silver 5, and a Vantec Fan Card that goes in an open PCI slot and blows cool air via 2 60mm fans onto the video card.... And I still get lockups. My Bios reports my idle CPU temp at ~52 and my temp when I crashed during AAO was reported by bios as 71*C! I think these temps are rediculous, as others who had bought the Thermaltake Silent Boost reported they had idle temps of OCed! 2500s around 35 and 41 under load.

Here are some pics of my case. A friend of mine suggested making either a 80mm or 92mm blow hole in the top of my case, since I only have one 80mm exhaust and theres no room on the back of the case for another. I did the best on wiring as I could and I really don't think its too restricting for airflow.
Any comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated and thanks in advance to everyone who replies.
