This heatsink should take care of the video card:

The fact that you need a fan to cool down your system means that something is wrong - have you tried contacting HP? you may have a problem with one of the fans, or the way that the heatsinks are mounted.



If you are looking to move your system to a new case I would recommend a ATX size case - it will be less crowded, and will offer better cooling options than a micro ATX case.



Budget case ($35): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…

Midrange case ($60): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…

High-end case ($100):

In which case theres nothing you can really do short of getting an aftermarket cooler for the 8800GT, (which may be the best solution). If you are lucky the board will conform to ATX standards and you will be able to mount everything in a new case. I use the Antec Nine Hundred , it has great air flow and lots of room.|||Im suprised the 8800 fits in there.

Thermaltake cases are nice. Lots of space for airflow and such.|||You could try (if you are brave) replace the heatsink and fan on the graphics card. There's a selection of coolers here: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l2/g40/c21/…



You could underclock your graphics card. Using nTune you can make the card run slower (producing less heat) than it does now: http://www.nvidia.com/object/ntune_5.05.…
