Did you mod the case? I can't imagine a case designed for a 486 would be super great for thermals for a modern CPU and discrete GPU combo. For me, it was such a pain in the butt to try and mod it vs. $100 for a case that "just works", so that was the nail in the coffin for my old AT case.

I've upgraded cases along the way, too.

Usually for aesthetics though. Better airflow was secondary until more recently.
