Airflow in my HTPC

Today I added a fan to my HTPC. When I removed the original PSU and put in a PicoPSU the only fan that was providing airflow through the case was also removed.

This was kind of the point of placing the PicoPSU as the fan was making way too much noise. However it also meant that all the hot air generated by the CPU keeps hovering around in the case.

That just doesn't feel right so I ordered this fan.
I made a small bracket to mount it on and fill the hole that the old PSU left behind.

Result after slowing down the CPU fan to the lowest possible speed: CPU temperature 35C and GPU temperature 45C.
