Ok ok ok, I know my PSU is a cheapy, but so far it's been a great peice. Runs a tad hot though sometimes, was wondering if there is a way I can break it open and jump the fan to run faster somehow?, It has a 120mm fan but it seems really slow moving.

You probably will need to replace the fan to have it run faster....

I'll buy another PSU, I'll look into buying a fan but I'm not too sure how easy it will be to replace considering I'm not sure if I can, it looks built into the PSU
The fan should be designed to adequately cool the PSU.
The main reason people swap PSU fans are to make them quieter rather than cool better.
Either way, a new PSU is probably a more sensible option.
The List in my signature contains a decent range PSUs, but I would suggest asking for some advice choosing if you do decide to grab something else.

Yeap, the PSU so far has been great considering it came with my case for like 60 shipped. I mean my sig says it all, I'm sure when I add in the 8800gt in the next few weeks that will all change, that's why I'm looking to do soemthign to either cool it down, or replace it. Thanks for that list I appreciate it. Since I kinda like OCZ products I may go with one of thiers,
OR, one of the Ultras, (how are their products)?
