I have the same case, different color. Problem is there is only one intake fan on the side, and I have two fans on the back being used as outake, and cant figure out anyway to put another intake fan on the front. I was thinking of putting something in the 5.25 or 3.5 drive bay, but cant find anything that would work there. Please help.
Well you can get them 5.25" bay coolers but they wont make an earthshattering difference if the problem is not getting enough heat out of the box fast enough (rather than needing new cool air) ... easiest solition is to cut a hole in the case

Cool, thanks a bunch joelkyr, I just noticed that. I'm not sure how air would get in there though, cause the front panel is blocking it, but I will give it a try. Any othe suggestions welcome.
You can pop the front panel Just be careful and make sure you pop it rather than break it off
