What cooling do you think this case should have. It has a 92mm intake fan, and 2 120 mm exhaust fans. I was going to upgrade the fans, and add a 120mm fan to the motherboard side, and another 92mm intake fan. This configuration is jus for starters. I want to install watercooling later, but i also want pretty good air cooling right now.
-thanks

wow, how much did that set you back!
i would do what you said. a few BIG fans would work well. if you want it to be quiet, just get lower CFM (but quieter) fans, like a panaflo. then you can have HUGE CFM's, but still have it pretty quiet.
watercooling would be best for that thing though, with all the room... don't spend TOO mcuh aircooling, becuase you will soon realize you want to make a switch.

you dont need anymore cooling really
I would switch one of your 120mm fans so it blows in though
you want more going in thin out

there is space for watercooling so why not do that and its totally quiet

I am with Jason. You will need good airflow anyways, but you won't have to quite as aggressive installing fans in it.

go with water cooling you'll be very happy you did. but still put in a couple of fans to cool the case, MoBo, and cards.

watercooling is the way to go if you want silence
air cooling is cheaper though
Thats a case I would love to get my hands on!!! Id mod the hella outta that!!! But then again, Im actually building a case like that!
Why spend more than what you have already? Try to use a 120mm for intake & the other for exhaust. It is NOT true that you need more intake than exhaust or vice versa. You want something close to equal as possible & total CFM thru the case. When people start to talk about air pressure some forget that you CAN get different air pressure readings from each opening with the same configuration. It's just not as simple as saying that if you got more intake you get positive pressure or the other way around.If you got a PSU with an exhaust fan then you can use the 92mm with the 120mm for intake to even things out.

That's the one I'm planning on getting after my birthday (only 4 more days). I am planning on cutting a hole for a 120mm intake directly over the PCI/AGP slots. It will have plenty of room for a water cooling setup. The only thing that it is lacking is cooling on the mobo side, which is easy to take care of.
