Where to place case fans...
Where is the best place to put case fans? Should I just have one at the back of the computer acting as an 'exaust', or should I put one at the front as well?
I can also place a fan on the side of the case, above the cpu. Is this neccisary, and would it keep the case cooler? Adam

Do you recon that I would need any fans, with the setup that I am currently running, and how do I find out what temp my computer and commponents are running at?

the grafic's card temp can be found in the nvidia drivers, for the CPU temp i would suggest something like speedfan
but if you are not overclocking your pc,.. i dont think fans would be needed

Doesn't the Aerocool have a huge turbine in the front? I would reconmend putting a fan in the back, just to complete the airflow in the case.
