Help with new setup, PC too hot

Hey Guys,

My PC is in the hottest part of the house, and today it is 86F outside so that means the temp is probably 80-86F where the computer is.

My setup is:

Chieftec Dragon w/side fan
Radeon 9800Pro
Athlon 2500+ (Soon to be 3000+)
Only listed the main heat generating things.

I have two fans blowing air in the bottom front and two blowing air out top back, all four are Antec rated at 34 CFM. My heatsink is a Thermalright SI-97 w/Sunon 92MM fan.

My idle temps today are 29C case/44C CPU. What can I do to lower the temp?

Those temps are good for those ambient temps.

Irrelevant really.
What are your temps under load?
Crank on Prime95 and run a few loops of Aquamark 03 and see how high you go.
