Any1 have an Antec 3700, need some opinions..

Was considering buying one of these cases for a new rig, and was curious. Is there only the one fan in the rear of the case? And does the 120mm fan in the rear efficiently cool the case? I was just curious cause the cases with the side fan seem as though they would keep a case much cooler.

The case generally comes with only one fan in the back... there is a 120mm mounting up front though. You'll have to buy one but not too spendy... just be aware you need a thin 120mm.... think it's 25mm if memory serves me. I got this one here..... http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-999-113&catalog=62&manufactory=BROWSE&depa=1

The stock case comes with just one fan, but that one fan is more than emogh to cool the case. I have a P4 3.0C system in my 3700AMB and am using a 120mm Panaflo L1A at 5 volts to cool the case. That's it other than the low speed 80mm PSU fan on my Seasonic SS400.

Case temps stay in the low to mid 30°C range except during the hottest months when it goes to about 40°C at full load.

Look at my sig. THis case is great, I have built two computers with it. THe only thing I dont like, is that it doesnt have a removable motherboard tray.

I moved the included 120mm fan to the front and mounted a Panflo medium speed 120mm x 38mm on the back (using tie-wraps cuz the mounting holes aren't standard spacing, they use a bracket mounting system). The case is well made but the latching mechanism is a bit suspect. One of them (there's 2 on the left side panel that you open frequently) was in-effective on the 3700AMB I got from Newegg. I ended up cutting the latches so they are now just eye-candy and use thumb-screws for the door. Overall, I like the case but mainly cuz there just aren't many cases with 120mm fan support. The paint job is also very nice.

There are at least two versions of the 3700- 3700AMB and 3700BQE. There are quite a few differences between the two.
