Placing my PC into a plastic desk

[jurickpadon]

Hello,

I am new to this site so please message me when i made something wrong.

So i got a spare plastic desk lying around which can be opened and i think has a enough space to place my pc on, i want to ask if i will just buy 3 pc fan for upgrade because my PC right now is hot even when browsing or playing or put all my pc parts on my small plastic desk. please consider that i am 13 years old, but i found my self as a modder (lol).

Thanks in advance <3 (sorry for my bad grammar)

What is hot? Are the temps of your components above normal under load?
if so, think about airflow in your case and the best way to achieve enough intake & exhaust.

Sometimes just throwing fans in the mix isnt the best or cheapest solution. open builds are messy things just asking for crap to fall on them and damage parts.

Also put the pc under the desk so you don't waste desk space. its also much quieter.

I agree with the last post make sure you have good ventilation and the air flow is the right way pull in from the bottom and out thru the top also it cant hurt to make sure that the on on the bottom can push air at or directly to the cpu and gpu so it helps the cooler fans there . depending on how you use the pc "gaming or just surfing " sometimes the more is good but it may get loud from the fans . the plastic table should work ad long as it will take the weight also you might have to run a wire from the mobo to the side of the psu so it gets a good ground .
