so the above spec only has one 120mm case fan?
so i would have to buy another one?

If you order an additional fan at the same time as the large order you'll save on postage - plus point.

On the other hand, you could check HD temps and then decide if you need an additional fan at the front. Advice from hardcore silencers

The VF900 on low speed fan mode is very quiet - the case fans would probably be more noisier!!

To maximise airflow 2 fans is advisable.

[lodore]

one at the back and one near the hard drives?

one sucking air in, one blowing air out. you're after air flow.

Thats right, there is a space for both fans so you can put them either way - I would suggest getting one more - a sharkoon at £7

That looks like a fairly decent spec for the cash!! Unless you really need extra RAM or HDD space I think you should stick to it!!

[lodore]

i might change the harddrive to a 120gb seagate harddrive since i prefer seagate but thats about all

You should be able to get a 160gb Seagate or Western Digital hard disk for around the same price!

[lodore]

good!
its just that seagate harddrives seem to be the most reliable and have a 5 year warranty!

Get Anything but!

[lodore]
