Ordering

I am going to order some parts now while they are on sale.
Corsair 1gb(2x512)
and a case
ASPIRE X-CRUISE-BL Blue Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
I was reading reviews on Aspire cases and they dont always come with directions but I can download from there site. I was looking at specs on Aspire's site and It dosent say anything about a 120mm fan.
X-Crusier Case
So can I still put a 120mm fan in it even if it dosent say on specs?

Thanks

The pics show a round grill section on the back of the case with 4 mounting holes for a fan, so yeah, you can still put one there.

HTH,

None of Aspire's cases come with instructions - that really did annoy me when I was building with my Aspire case, but you should be fine. You may run into some trouble hooking up the VU Monitor and Fan speed monitor but those are not "system necessities" - in other words, you don't absolutely need to them to use your system. If you figure that out, that's great though. Most of what you need to set up a standard ATX case are simple and straightforward.

I will warn you not to use the Power Supply Unit that accompanies the case - from this view, it looks like a Turbolink PSU. Turbolink PSUs are known to underpower system and cause all sorts of trouble. A PSU like Thermaltake 430W is recommended, depending on your full system..
