    what's wrong with a glass door in front of the PC

    Heat is the problem, the reason why there are fans is that heat needs to escape and glass is an insulator, not a conductor.

    My 500 watt reciever has a heat sink thats about 4x10x4, and has a fan that turns on a very high tempertures, which it usaul only reaches when it is cranked up for an extended period of time.
    What I'd really like to see is a volume controled fan controler. When the movie gets quiet, the fans slow down and then crank back up when it gets loud again.
