    Case/Cooling question and info

    I'm thinking about upgrading my case for a new system I may build here in a couple of weeks. I currently have a Tornado 1000 (about 3 years old) from www.3dcool.com, and as far as I can tell... it's got 2 fans on the side of it, one in the back by the PSU, and one in the front (I thought it had 5 on it, maybe its just 4). Anyway, if you visit THIS you'll see what pieces I am planning to upgrade. Here is what I was wondering about.

    1) Do you think I would be able to adequately cool my CPU/memory/video card (basically the "guts" of my system) with the case I have now.
    A) If Yes, then would you recommend I buy some new fans? I like the setup that user gkline has. He said he has 5 (or 4?) panaflo fans on his case.

    B) If not, then what case would you recommend/cooling?

    This doesn't have to be LIFE OR DEATH cooling - just something to keep it sensible. I don't need water cooling or peltiers or anything like that. Thanks

    You typed the address wrong...remove the "," before the "/"...

    It should be fine for no overclocking...maybe another exhaust and check the placement of those side fans, too. Add a blowhole if you want to...

    About the best thing you can do for any case, assuming it doesn't have one already, is to add a top blowhole. At least a 92mm but if you have room, go for a 120mm and use a low cfm Panaflo fan for it.
