Star Logic 3.5" Floppy Drive
NEC LCD1760v 17" LCD Display
Logitech Cordless Elite Duo Keyboard and Mouse
Antec 80mm Front Bottom Intake @ 2884 RPM
Antec 80mm Smart Fan Rear Top Exhaust @ 2343 RPM

ASUS Probe Temps are as follows:

I was thinking of adding one or two more fans. Do I need too. If so any suggestions. I was thinking of one intake in the side panel directly over the cpu and a top blowhole exhaust directly over the hole in the top of the chassis. You can see it in the bottom left picture. That would give me 2 intake 2 exhaust (not counting the pwr supply exhaust) and the cpu fan.
