What do you think of this product for cooling?

"Cooling Wizard for P4 70mm"

I'm interested in getting this to cool down my computer. I have a p4 2.53 with a Swiftech MCX4000 & TMD fan (70mm?). I also have a Coolermaster ATC201 chassis.

Any opinion and its effectiveness?

I dont have this product myself but by just looking at it...I'd say that thing better have a good grill that allows airflow and keeps the dust away. Otherwise prepare to clean often.

I would 1st see if you gets lower temp by running system with side panel removed.
By removing side panel, CPU fan will breath colder outside air instead of "supposly wamer air inside the case".
ATC-201 has pertty good cooling performance to start with. Ff you don't see significant drop in your CPU temp by removing side panel, it's unlikley you will see much improvement using this product.

Actually I do get significant temp drops when i take out the side panel. My computer is filled with drives and add on cards...

Good idea but you should make sure you have two fans on the rear so you can still have one pulling air out - or add a top blowhole. Definitely add a filter on the rear intake as well.
