I am going to purchase a case soon and most likely I am going to get the popular Chieftec Server Chasis Workstation case http://www.newegg.com/app/Showimage...62-01.jpg/11-125-262-04.jpg/11-125-262-02.jpg.
Now there is the normal version for 45 dollars and a modded version which comes with a window and costs 50 dollars. I am not a modder [ well not anymore ] and I am wondering does the plexiglass window affect the air that is being pushed by the intake fans? Should I stick with the normal version which is steel all around?
Finally my other question is concerning fans. I am going to purchase the CoolerMaster -B83 Single Ball Bearing Fan since it pushes nice amounts of air at resonable DBA level [ 26dba ] and it costs 5 bucks . Is it overkill to have 4 case fans? [ 2 intake/2 exhaust ] also my Antec True380watt psu intake fan will act as a exhaust.
Should I just have 2 intake and 1 exhaust?, I would like to have 2 intake because I can cool my hard drive aswell which is nice even though it prolly isnt needed.
Thank you for all of your input.
