    case fan quest?

    I am new to this so please bare with me. I have this case(http://www.newegg.com/app/Showimage....125-950-02.JPG) And was wondering If in the front where your hard drive goes if I can put an 80mm fan the to bring air in and then blow it out he back. In case your wondering what I am talking about here is another link(http://www.newegg.com/app/Showimage.asp?style=album) Where the plastic purple parts are is what I am talking about. Thanks for any advice. I was also thinking of cutting a hole in my side window to place a fan there over my CPU, MOBO and Video card. If any one knows a good place to send it to to do this that would be great

    yep, you can mount a fan to blow over your HDD's, just make sure it's not too tall and you leave space for your drives

    As for the window, grab your dremel, and cut yourself a hole. You haven't got a dremel? Go buy one, they can be used for a TON of stuff.

    Most times a side panel intake fan isn't effective. That case is very good for cooling. The two supplied rear panels fans will probably be all you need. If your drive(s) are of fairly recent manufacture you won't need a fan in the drive cage either. If you're an overclocker, the best thing you could do with that new Dremel would be to cut a top panel blow hole for a 120mm exhaust fan.
