I am getting an Enlight case and has one fan installed. I was wondering if those HD fans, ram fans and exhaust fans are worth it.

I pulled a couple of fans from powersupplies that wore out. They are a Nidec Beta SL...model do8t-12pm....12v dc..0.10amp...at the bottom of the label reads 7422Y. The other fan is a Matsu****a SF80 Fan Motor...asf82271001...DC Bushless...12V DC 125ma...at the bottom of label reads 9D14B1. I manage to wire them for power supply cables. Is there anything I should look for before I blow up my new system?

Someone in a local shop said he has a 120V PC fan. I haven't seen it but is there any advantage beside plugging directly into a wall outlet?
Thanks

case fans are quite cheep and definatly worth investing in new ones, ram fans or even ram heatsinks are not worth it, hard disk coolers are debatable as they help with hotter (faster) drives but pointless for most ide drives

I found these pictures of 100's of custom cases and saw all the fans...just need opinions from those that have been there.

I saw a couple of large metal case fans that were pulled from XT cases. They are 120v. Would they be overkill on an Enlight ($8 for the two so price isn't the issue)? I am waiting for the case to arrive and have already put together 3 fans pulled from broken power supplies. I bought a Pentium III 1.2 Tualatin, Abit VH6T, Enlight 7237 with an Antec powersupply, and I have many sdram sticks of PNY PC133 (free thanks to CompUSA and other stores) that I will sale to max out the board (I suppose with PC150). I also ordered the Maxtor D740X ATA133 60GB 7200RPM. So, since these parts run cooler than what is out there, do I need that much fan power to overclock to 3.0? Ok, let's try 1.5+.
