I knew I needed some proper ventilation and airflow to dissipate the heat generated from the PC. The cooler the temperature in the case, the better the system stability would be.
There is already a ventilation strip in the top half of the NES case. I figured I could mount a small case fan there to act as an exhaust port. The vent isn't really wide open. It's more of a layered design to allow air to move horizontally through it. This wasn't going to work with a forced air fan.
After taking the dremel to it I was able to open up a section just big enough to mount a 40mm fan.
After the system is up and running I'll monitor the temps to see if I need to possibly add an intake fan as well.
