Ok, so a few years back I purchased a HP pavilion ZD8000 series Desktop replacement system / egg fryer.
It was fantabulous for my needs which were ::
* having the only system that could play Doom 3 with everything on max sans any of the lag associated with such endeavors
*3d modeling and rendering with Maya
* Having the best screen in the house
* and burning the SHIT out of myself if I made the mistake of resting my hands next to the keyboard.
Check the specs here system review and specs

Now the damn thing runs hot as it is, but two of the case fans went out and that was no bueno. Here is how I “fixed” the problem as well as gaining a new desk.

mind not what it is running ... ssshhh.

:: Parts used ::

* a gimpy system/cooker/sterilization device

* a $15 box fan from Teh Wallmart

* a coffee table with the glass top removed for air flow

I just set the fan blowing side down on a coffee table with the glass top removed, then placed the system of flaming destruction on top of that so the fan pulls the hot air out of the system.

I eventually got used to hurricane force wind noise while using my new “workstation”.
