case fan

[kramer]

I was wondering if i could add an extra fan to this case. thats it wasnt sure. and if so what size. and if not will i need it. im not going to be using it with that much stuff. just an athlon xp 2400+ with a mobo integrated video, cdrw, 80gb hard drive and nothing to big

sorry this case

i changed my mind about the sonata too pricey

What case? If memory serves correctly your going to be using a antec sonata?? If so it already comes with a 120mm fan on the back which is more then enough to cool that box.

what case?
EDIT:darn, got beat to the post again

yes you can if ya want . 80mm is perfect size to use or bigger. bigger=quieter . you can either shoot it in to inject fresh air into the system or shoot it out to remove heat from case. either way works fine. if your PC runs great without it and ya have no heat issues , then dont bother unless ya wanna make it look fancy and stuff.


cheers

If its sonata I dont think you can add one. And as FLG said, you wouldnt need one, 120mm is crazy big.

That case has a standard 80mm case fan spot in back under the power supply... I would put a case fan there blowing outward... look at the sides of the fan and find the arrows indicating airflow...

it already has a intake fan though. If air comes in one way wont it force the air thats already in there out the other way?

Yes, that's a good case and it comes with a good power supply...it just isn't very fancy looking. But it does have a few nice features that make it easy to build with. I prefer function over looks.

The antec sonata comes with a 120mm fan in the back which should be pushing out air, i think it pushes some where in the 55CFM range, and is relativly quiet. You really dont need any other fans since your not doing some crazy build.

FLG: kramer decided to go with the Enlight EN-72500AZ case instead. There's a link in his first post of this thread.

that enlight case looks like a very solid piece of work. that case has TONS of room for modding.
