I have just brought a Black Tsunami Capricorn case. You can see it here I was wondering if I could put a fan at the front of the case or maybe the side? Because at the moment I have a fan on my processor, a fan at the back and also a exhaust fan at the back.

Most likely there is at least one spot for a fan at the front, not that I can tell from that pic... Have any better ones?

If there is a spot to put a fan on the front or the side, then you will easily be able to add one. If not, you can always cut a hole yourself (using a dremel, holesaw, nibler, or anything else you can come up with).

Why put a fan at the front if you have two exhaust fans? Several questions need to be considered. Overclocking? Where is the air that is being exhausted coming from? Are those sources sufficient without getting a boost from a fan? Key is what are your inside-case temperatures? If they are reasonably close to room temps and you aren't oc'ing, you don't need an extra fan likely. Modding the case will take time. It may be cheaper (given manpower spent on modding) to get a temp sensor (e.g. Digital Doc 5) and find out for sure, unless you want to fool with the case. You didn't say whether there was a spot in front to mount another fan, and the spec page you gave indicated only one extra fan. You named two, so I presume the exhaust fan you mentioned is a slot-mounted fan, usually 43 cfm and very quiet for the cfm rating.

Think about what the air flow within the case likely is now and what it would be if you added a fan at X location.

O.K got some pics here. My exhaust fan is in a spare PCI slot and my other fan is on the back near the power supply. One other thing on the side panels there are holes in a curved shape maybe I could put a fan here?

P.S there is no holes for an extra fan at the front.
