Thought I'd pass this on to any people out there with a ArcadePC from Hanaho. I received mine on Wednesday and love it. Incredibly well built and very heavy. The only thing I would like, is a little more space on the slide-out keyboard tray. I was going to use a Kensington Expert Mouse Trackball but it doesn't fit on the tray. There's only 2" of clearance and the Trackball is 3" high. Well that and a built in spinner. :)
So last night I'm fooling around with it, playing some games and getting the Party On! front-end installed on it, when the thing just turned off. When I opened up the front door to the cabinet I found it to be pretty warm inside. On the back top of the cabinet there are some venting holes but no fan. I happened to have a leftover 120MM fan plus matching chrome grill from www.3dcool.com so I decided to put that in to get rid of some of the hot air. This thing moves 131CFM so I figured it would keep it cool.
Broke out the roto-zip and made a decent circle cut-out, mounted the fan and chrome grill and was ready to go. You could definitely hear it but I figured it was worth it if it kept the case cool. Unfortunately I forgot about the magnet. When I came around to the front, my monitor was jumping all over the place.
Luckily with the chrome grill, it doesn't look bad just acting as a vent hole. I'm going to try installing a 92MM instead lower down on the cabinet and see how that works.
