Are you saying to buy one fan for the front of the case and one for the back? I don't have any fan screws.

Is the power supply okay?

Edit: I think intel P43 chipset will be release very soon (last time I heard is end of May), don't know if you want to wait.

Power supply OK.
Some fan does not come with screws, like those black extra value one.

One fan at the back for exhaust is a must. The one at the front for intake is up to you. It does enhance the case ventilation.
As ordering online, personally will pay extra £1-2 for another fan in case you need it. You will found your local store/ maplin sell them double of the price at ebuyer

I'm definitely happy to get a couple of fans, but which ones? I honestly wouldn't know where to start.

Well, apart from here: http://www.ebuyer.com/store/Components/cat/Cooling-Fans

So that would be for the motherboard? What difference is there between the P43 and the Intel P35 Express / Intel ICH9?

The major different from the MOBO you choose is southbridge ICH9 and PCI-E x16 1.1, while P43 have southbridge ICH10 (supporting AHCI); PCI-E x16 2.0

I don't know if it worth waiting...

For the fan, I mean case fan, not cpu fan
http://www.ebuyer.com/store/Componen...bcat/Case-Fans

Your case spec:
HOW MANY FANS CASES CAN ACCOMMODATE AND SIZE AND LOCATION
---1x8omm or 92mm or 120mm fans in the front of case.
---1x92mm cm 80mm fan in the rear of the case.

Thank you Red Devil. Which DVD driver would you choose out of these 3?
