See-Through Desktop PC and Gaming Desk

I was inspired by one of the previous see-through computer desks posted on HacknMod, but I wanted mine to be slightly different. I used my current wooden and installed a glass sheet on top. I then built an enclosure out of wood underneath and built my PC and Xbox 360 into it.
Control Panel:
I can sit back and control everything including: massage chair control, power button for PC, eject button for the Xbox 360, switches for the LEDs in the desk, and TV/monitors.
I built five LED fans ($3 on eBay) into the desk to keep things cool along with five temperature sensors so I can monitor conditions. I extended the USB ports to the front of the desk so they can be easily connected and the CD drives from the PC and Xbox have been re-arranged for easy access.
Hardware Specs:
- Q8200 Quad Core @ 2.33Ghz
- 4Gb RAM
- HD 3870 Radeon
- Xbox 360 Elite

I was just wondering if you guys could help me, i have an entertainment system wich is composed of a surround sound system, an xbox 360, a bell expressvu receiver and a portable hard drive.. i was wondering what is the best way to put fans integrated in my desk.. and where can i get those fans, what are they called.

Well…depending on how expensive the desk is, just use a circular saw to bore a hole through it, and purchase any standard fan – http://hacknmod.com/store/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=28
