Sketch I did of my case with stuff
Picture I later found of the actual case
As you can see, the case I have DOES comes with a front mounted 80mm fan. (Forgot when I drew sketch oops)
Now, look closely at the newegg pictures that show the front case cover.
You see those small holes?
Those holes aren't infront of where the front mounted fan actually is. I wish I had a camera to show you this but those hole are only infront of the bottom HALF the front fan sucking air in.
In other words, the top half of the fan is completely covered and the bottom half of the fan has those tiny holes from where to suck air into the case.
My questions:
1)Should I drill more holes in the front cover of the case so the intake fan isn't covered?
2)Should I add an 80mm fan at the back near the power supply? If so, any recommended sub $10?
3)Notice from my drawing that I have a voodoo3 pci card (those get very hot). Were would I get best exposure to airflow to it since it only has a passive heat sink? At the highest (relative to the ground) PCI slot near the CPU? or at the bottom of the case the way I have it now?
4) Should I round all my IDE cables? In my hand drawing, that nice "gap" where I labled the mobo is flooded with floppy and ide ribbons as well as power supply cables.
