Pictures of the setup? lights? intake/exhaust? Wheres the hot air going?

Didn't see it was a PC case grow. So you have maybe 2-4 CFLs probably? 13 or 26 watters? What comp. fan are you using? Any DIY scrubber on? Whats the room temperature? Thats probably the most important for you is the room temp thats going into the PC case. Get the room temp downnnn.

I really dont think thats my problem, it is the fact that the fan is not blowing right its only blowing on the sides not in the middle like normal fans do.
