i need to make some holes in my case. all i have is one 80mm front intake fan and the PSU sucking the air out - which im writing about only to make a note. temps inside the case r a bit high and im not planning to make any duct. my CPU hsf is a FOP-38 which influences air flow pretty much. what will i do?
thanks for your help.

Get some 120mm fans and cut some big holes for them. I have 2. One in the front and one out the back. check www.allelectronics.com, they have some great deals on fans.

Right on! I agree totally. Why mess around with anything less? I have 2 120's, one on top (blowing out), and one on the side (sucking in). I have some nice Sunon's that I am happy with. You can get'em at sidewindercomputers. Don't forget finger guards!

You can mount some fans on the bottom of the case blowing up! I mounted 2 80mm's that way with some 50 cfm sunon's, it's like a hurricane in that case! You just have to get some fan filters and make sure your case has some feet that make the bottom of the chassis sit up off the floor about 1.5 inches.

whe you order the fans consider a new heatsink as well, the one you have is old
