CM Stacker 830

Hi all, I'm sitting here looking at my CM Stacker 830 completly baffled as to how I would mount 2 or 3 fans to the front of the case. The manual does not mention this at all and I see a picture at Cooler Masters site of this case with Fans inside the door (120mm) and another picture showing 3 fans stacked up drawing air into the front of the case. If anyone has done this or can make out how to do this please advise. Im confused at this point how this gets accomplished.
 
I'd imagine that you'd probably want to go with the same 120mm fans reccomended everywhere else. Yate Loon, Panaflo, Nexus, etc.

I like panaflo 120x38mm myself - but its honestly the only "performance" fan i've ever tried.
 
What you see pictured in stacker cases are called "4 in 3" hard disk racks which can hold up to four 3.5" drives in three 5" bays. I don't know how else you'd mount other fans in there other than by modding the 5" bay cover plates if present. The CM fans are actually nice for HD cooling - and pretty quiet too but don't push much air. I have the one I took off my "4 in 3" rack for sale - click the link in my sig.

I'm using one of the Sanyo Denki fans I also had for sale on it now as I wanted it to also help with general system cooling. Those are some of the best equipment fans you can buy, period! But like the standard CM fan, it has no bling. Too bad mine are all gone now - but I may try to get another carton of them - watch my listing.

Thermaltake also sells a drive rack that has an LED fan I think. And Lian Li sells a nice HD cage with a pretty good looking face on it to hide the fan plus hold a filter. My review/overview of them should show up soon in the "articles" section of http://www.TechIMO.com

I only use coolermaster fans.
In my opinion they are right up there with the best you can get!!
Of course I have my own opinions about how much air needs to be moved to acheive maximum cooling but to make this quick and sweet anything over approx 40 cfm is over kill!!
