Hello there folks,
my PC started "wailing" a few weeks ago and I suspect it is all the dust and stuff. I run with the case side open (no idea why) so there is a lot of dust inside the poor thing.
Anyway I wanted to ventilate poor ******* a bit and also close the side panel as I can't stand fans anymore. I know adding fans will add to sound level but I hope by closing the side panel it will dampen the sound a bit and by keeping it ventilated that I'll lower the decibels
I have a lot going on in my case
Opteron 165 @ 2.55
2 Gig RAM
8800 GT 512MB @ stock
3 harddrives,
floppy
DVD-Rom
CD-ROM
So a lot of cables and stuff inside.
Anyway I think I have place for at least one fan at front and 2 fans back ( it may even be 2 fans at front )
and these are the fans I can choose from:

So what should I do? Go for 4 fans or start with 2? More intake fans or more blowing out? Any tips are greatly, greatly appreciated
Ofc before I add these fans I'll clear all the dust out first
Thank you for your time!
