computer case with (3) 120mm fans

[wpshooter]

Does anyone (other Lian Li) make a mid-tower computer case that has (3) 120mm fans, 1 located at front for cooling of hard drive(s), 1 located on rear panel for case exhaust, & 1 located on the TOP panel (NOT at the top of front panel) of the case (to exhaust the hot air as it rises) ?

Thanks.

The antec nine hundred has two fans on top. If you want that exact number of fans then no, I don't now of any off the top of my head.

The Antec P182 comes with 3, 120mm fans.

1 in the lower part of the cage pulls cold air in over the hard drives
1 in the rear panel, right behind the CPU to exhaust air
1 on the top panel, right over the CPU to exhaust air

You can fit another 120mm fan on the front panel in the top half of the case to pull in more cold air into the main compartment where the MB/CPU/GPU are.

Great case!

There is little or no evidence that blow-hole exhausts make much difference to overall system cooling. The Cooler Master 690 has front, rear and bottom locations for fans which seems more useful to me. Just block off the remaining fan grills and venting. But it does have two fan mounts in the top as well if you really must... I've got to put at least one up there to see how much air goes out thru the fan and how much just comes back into the case somewhere else as the top bezel isn't what one could call a free breather. I have one for sale if the 690 grabs your fancy.

.bh.

Yep, Cooler Master CM690 comes with three 120mm fans. Place them as you wish, the case pretty much covers every option you would want.

With new designs like the CM690 and teh P18x the top blowhole can be placed all the way at the back because the power supply has been moved to the bottom and in cases laid out as such they should actually be very beneficial because they're not diverting the flow as with old cases where blowholes had to placed in front of the PSU. IMHO with a single rear intake and a top exhaust with a tower style heatsink temperatures should be at or near their functional limits based on heatsink.

I have a CodeGen case, dunno if they still even make it, that meets those requirements. It has a blowhole fan in the top, and I added an 80mm fan to the front, it already had mounts for it. I had to drill additional mounting holes for the HDs to move them back to accomidate the fan, and I drilled ventilation holes into the bottom front plastic of the case.
It's a mid-tower with 4 external 5.25in bays, 4 internal 3.5in bays, and two 3.5in external bays.

Oh, I just noticed you mentioned 120mm fans. These fans were all 80mm.

The Antec 900 has 3 120mm fans, 2 in the front 1 on the rear behind the cpu and 1 200mm on top, fantastic airflow.
