Fan Placement Suggestions

I just purchased an X-dreamer case for my new build, and needed suggestions on case fan placement. I'm gonna be doing some overclocking, I think i'm gonna push an Athlon XP 1700+ (1.47 ghz) to 2.0ghz, so serious cooling is needed. This is what's available:

* Computer Case Fans
- 80mm Side Panel Fan: 1 Tri-LED Fan (Included)
- 80mm Top Panel Exhaust Fan: 1 Clear Fan (Included)
- 80mm Rear Exhaust Fans: 2 (Optional)
- 80mm Front hidden Fans: 4 (Optional)

I just bought 4 Antec 80mm neon blue fans and was wondering where I should put them. Thanks.

Have the side one blowing in air, 2 exhaust in the back, and two blowing in air at the front. That should be plenty of airflow for that system.

Since you only have the 4 Antec fans, just install 1 fan in the front (instead of 2) and follow the rest of got_ammo's suggested layout. Should work fine.
