Aye, I'm thinking the same. There is no fan at the back. There is a top fan, which isn't great, and I have chucked a fan on the bottom of the case by the drives to try and get air out of the GPU which faces down and expels air down (I believe). But airflow is pretty much blocked. I'm waiting on an Amazon voucher and then will grab that Bitfenix which has room for all the fans and components are better arranged (currently most things touch).

Tempted to get rid of the big, old PC, maybe a couple of my old laptops and get another desktop-replacement laptop.
Anything good and cheap in the world of desktop-replacement laptops?

I paid £1400 for my 17" laptop in 2005 so that would be, what, the equivalent of a £280,000 laptop now?

I don't want a gaming laptop though, just a big screen with modern bits inside.

You could try the custom route...

Something like this would probably be decent though I kinda wanted bigger than 17"

But seriously, a thought 'desktop replacement' laptops died out 5 years ago when everyone realised they're shit. If you want power or speed, get a proper computer, it will be better for less money. If you're just worried about space just look at something like these, they are about equal power as the top end laptops but half the price and you have the option to upgrade parts in the future.

Looks like he's carrying a fucking toolbox.
Mine will just reside on the bedside table and probably die from sweat-induced corrosion after 12 months.

No, my aerobars are already covered in electronics. It's for the table in front of me which is why I'd like a bigger screen. I was using my 17" laptop but it's hard to read and control the tunes from where I am. Actually, I still have a TV, what the fuck am I talking about. All I need is a normal laptop and I can run it through the TV. I can then fuck off the old PC.
Maybe I should try installing an old video card in it first.

Utter douche
Basically to see the airflow. I have a feeling you may need to upgrade to a water cooler for the cpu if there's no room for air to come through, or maybe put a stronger fan at the front and back of the case to draw more through.
