Buying Case/PSI fans

[Cvette1002]

*cough* PCI fans *cough* (my mistake lol)
Howdy all, I'm thinking about buying 10 MASSCOOL 80mm Case Fan's.
& (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835150007) 1 EVERCOOL PCI Slot Case Cooler (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835119065)

I have two grates/vents in the back of my computer near the top (where the power cord plugs in.) And I want to place two of the 80mm fans on those two grates blowing inwards. And then have the PCI fan as the exhaust.

Or should I not have those two 80mm fans blowing in?

Just wanted everybody's okay on that, I know a lot of people here have/are building their own computers.

Merry Christmas!

physics tell me you should have the upper back fans face outward and position lower front fans inward.

Hmm, okay, so have one upper fan facing outward, and the one below that facing in? The PCI would still at the bottom of the case.

KamiKaze just told me that this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835129027) would be a better brand to buy.

yup, looks ok.

Thanks Mark,

Still looking at more fans though, not sure of which ones to get.

Okay I don't think I'll get that one Kami recommended, many complaints of it being too loud. So, I've narrowed it down to two of them;

Rosewill RFA-80-WL 80mm 4 White LEDs LED Case Fan (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835200047): $2.49

Bearing Type Sleeve
RPM 2500 RPM
Air Flow 33.21 CFM
Noise Level 22.41 dBA
Power Connector 3 / 4 Pin
Color Transparent
LED 4 White LEDs

&

Rosewill RFA-80-K 80mm Case Fan (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835200044): $1.99

Bearing Type Sleeve
RPM 2500 RPM
Air Flow 33.21 CFM
Noise Level 22.41 dBA
Power Connector 3 / 4 Pin
Color Black

Both the same, but the one with the LEDs looks more durable. I guess I'm going with the cheap one. Thanks for the help.

Whoa double post

wait no you didn't get me it seems.

the fans in the back have the job blowing out the warm air, and the fans in the front blow air in. the pci fan should just handle the gfx's hot air since it's position is right underneath the card.

so in this situation you should get 4 or more fans, not including the pci.

next time i see u on xfire, ill send you a quick diagram

Air flow for case.

Thanks to D and Marker for the help! :)

I've finally decided to go with this lay-out. It will consist of 3 Rosewill RFA-80-K 80mm Case Fan (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835200044) & 1 EVERCOOL SB-F1 PCI Slot Case Cooler (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835119065)

I've moved the HDD down 3 brackets to make room, and disconnected the 2 front USB ports since I never use them.

I've got plenty 4-pin's for all of the fans too. 2 in the back and 1 top-front, isn't long enough but the fan I'm putting there comes with an extension (I hope :o)

Thanks again ppl!
