A few months ago I "finish" a pc build in a old IBM PS/2 case, I really like how it turned out, but I can't figure out how to do the cooling. A picture of the pc settup ATM, is attached. I have been using the pc with out the top for sometime, but I feel like it isnt finished. When I put the top on the CPU's idel temp go'es op with 15-20 degrees c. Hope anyone has some solutions.
(Sry for my poor English)

Make sure PSU has an opening for its fan. You may need to put an opening above the CPU cooler fan. Find some fans, and make some holes, to get some air flow in the case. 

Something like these maybe:

This is due to poor airflow. 

1. Make some holes on the pc cover directly above the cpu cooler. 

2. Install exhaust fans. Maybe one or two.
