okay, so my case isn't the best of cases. My problem? well The back of the case only has room for 2x40mm fans, and the front would look horrid if cut open.

What I am planning on doing is modding the side of the case to have a window, but then have 2x80mm holes. One top left, one bottom right.

Would this do a similar or as effective job as having a good fan bottom front of case and rear top?

Also, what's the best way to attach 2 fans to the side panel of the case? I'm worried about noise from vibrations of the side panel if I do this.

Any comments would be appreciated :)

You might want larger fans to move more air thru your case than 80mm. Maybe a pair of 120mm 131CFM YS-Tech on rheostats to control them. Mount them with filters & rubber washers(reduce the noise) & you should be all set.
