Simple! Just duct tape over all the vents, fill the case with water from the tap, and turn it on. Make sure it's cold water, though; you'll need to change it every two weeks or so.

Case Mods
Been working on these recently, still work in progress. Current mods:
2 triple LED 80mm fans
1 92mm fan
temprature read out display (for CPU, 3d card, and air temp in case)
Cold Cathode light (blue)
DIY control pannel, with switches for fans and controls for light.
Perspex window, approx 350mm X 300mm

The fan on the 3D card is very temporary, just look at the electrical tape holding it on. Still, it knocks 28 Degrees C off the running temprature. I plan to get a smaller one and mount it horizontally.
Also want to paint it. Red, probably.

Actually, if you have heard the air ventilation system inside a commerical airliner (kind of a continuous mechanical whine), my case sounds exactly like that except a bit louder.
but hey, it allows for good overclocking. ;7
