Easy PC cooling solutions?

Alright I have 3 120mm fans in my pc, plus the cpu fan, and lately the comp's been running pretty hot in my room so I have to have 2 fans on and the window open.

Are there any quick/easy/cheap cooling solutions to lower the temperature? Theres no room on the case to install another fan, unless I mod it, but I dont want to do that because Im getting a case for that purpose later on and I want to sell this one in good condition.

I've taken the fan grills off to allow for more air flow, its keeping it down a few degrees but its still hot.

Sounds to me it's about time to get it water cooled.

Maybe, but I dont wanna fork out the money to set it up, it'll cost me about $150 for a kit, and I need that for my next case. Basically I need a quick fix to last about a month or so until I switch cases.

If you are Whats it called again... Overclocking, Take that out.

If you want to overclock, Then get a water cooler.

And pour me a drink.

How is the air flowing through your case?
Something like this:
[code]
| |-----> PC back (hot air)
| |
| |
| |
--->(base)PC front | |
[/code]
?

Yep, and a fan on the side sucking in air.

Ive had it overclocked for a few months now, its only been getting hotter lately, Ive increased fan speed through bios but that hasnt done much..
