It's not great sticking a vacuum cleaner nozzle to a mobo, nor spraying an airduster at the components. I'd move, if possible, the top fan and stick it on the side, as an intake fan. Or get a larger capacity fan on the side - cheap enough. Don't forget your filters for them. |
There are three fans built in, front/top/rear. Plus I can put one or two more on the side for extra intake which I probably will do if only to add some more BIG BLUE LED LIGHTS WHOOOOOOO!!!!
Er, sorry, that last bit was just to make Jan's head explode.
There's also a filtered vent on the bottom, for the PSU intake I presume. Haven't checked to see about filters for the onboard fans but I think there is a removable filter for the front one. Any intake fan I add I'll put a filter with for sure (I assume I don't need them for exhaust vents, I mean, we're happy if dust gets blown
out of the case, right?)

And finally, was one thread for your PC build not enough?

Are you mad, sir? An undertaking this massive and earthshaking can hardly be contained in one measly thread.
Besides which, I wasn't building anything in that thread, I was only contemplating buying some parts. It wasn't until I actually ordered them that I realized, oh crap, now I have to build a computer.
