Okay, I Got a Antec Black Case It's almost a tower, It's got a 330 Watt Enemax PSU. It's for 99.95 On Newegg.Com

It weighs atleast 50 Pounds, The case weighs a ton. It's a tough case.

I Wanted to know how many fans i could add in this box.

How much would my tempature DECREASE if i added a...

60mm Fan
1 Exhaust FAN
Whole on the top w/ 80mm or 60mm w/ Grill

...
Heatsink Recommendations

I have the stock cooling that came with my processor. 4600 RPMs, Actually my temps are good, It ran at 113 Load at 1575 (It's a ATHLON xp 1600)

VCORE: 1.85

I was looking to purchase a Delta 7000 RPM Fan. Does anyone know where i could purchase a Delta Fan locally? Radioshack? Someone already told me that they didnt believe that they sold them at Radioshack. I'd even purchase a 6000 RPM Fan, or 5550, Something more then 5000 RPMS, 4600 RPM's just isnt sufficent.

Heatsinks

1) Glaciator II
2) DragonOrb 3


Which of the Two would you guys purchase for Overclocking/Looks

The DragonOrb3 Looks sharp, Although on someone's signature, I Think it said 33 Idle, 50 Load, I Dont want the tempature to jump that much. It was something like that, The number's were like 10-13C, Off.

Im probably going to purchase a Window Kit & Delta 7000 RPM Fan.

Also, how much would my tempature drop if i put a Delta 7000 RPM, Versus the 4600 RPM Stock AMD Fan?

That's 2400 RPM's... That's like playing with fire.

Please post your recommendations, Thank you for taking your time and posting

dont put 60mm's as case fans....too loud, for not much air flow...ids say if you are going to cut holes in the case, put 92mm's or 120mm's in there, for they will cool you down...dragon orb 3 is a good hsf....make sure you get the copper base version though....

edit, when you tell us your temps...tell us in Celcius. just thought id tell you

If you are going to cut a hole I would go with 120mm hole. An AOL CD makes a great template for the hole.:D
