Bill,
Tell you what I did with my second fan. I reversed the direction of air
flow by turning the fan around. This creates the effect of an air tunnel;
one fan sucks in cool air, the second blows out the warmed air. I used to
have thermal problems until I did this. By the way, if you are having
thermal problems severe enough to cause your plastic casing to deform, you
have a serious fan problem. You should probably replace the fan and make
sure that it is always blowing directly on the power supply side. I do a
lot of repairs to 7300's and this is a common problem. Usually the fan's
main bearing wears out; this can be detected by an unusually noisy fan.
If you replace the fan and want a high volume, low power, quiet one, use a
Boxer Hi-Fi of comparable power requirements. (Usually available for about
$10.00.)
Hope this helps, good luck.
