I have a few questions

1. I have no where to put a front intake fan. see case http://www.cmicomputer.com/graphics/csv70bw.jpg
should i use a bay cooler to suck some air in and if so which one provides good cfm?

2. I have like 4 fans all hooked together on the same power cord, is this ok?

Thanks in advance for your help

1. a bay cooler just isn't going to cut it for intake

2. the fans all suck power from the same 12v rail so it doesn't matter

oy, cheapo cases likt that are more trouble then they are worth if you want cooling. too bad its not taller, or else you could cut a front intake without screwing the on button. friend has that case.

i remember the rear exhaust has a lousy grill. you should cut it out, it really blocks the fan. an exhaust blowhole on top is possible. and if you get a hole saw, 80mm intakes on the side possible in windows.. cram air in.

are you sure the case has nowhere for an intake fan? i thought that case has a space and the holes for the air to get air were under the front panel. might be mixing up with another case though i suppose.

you probably should be using the fan in the door as an intake, wont be cooling hard disks at all though. i really wouldnt be having 4 fans all as outtakes! get your case dirty quickly.
