Evercase 4252 case fan location

[ellisz]

Hello,

I ordered my setup from Newegg last night and was wondering how the people with the Evercase cases are setting up their fans? The $42 case w/ the side case fan was OOS so I just ordered the case and side fan separately. I also ordered a Enermax 80mm fan as well.

According to the Manafacturer's website, you can put a fan in the front, back and side. I figured I can put the extra fan up front and then use the side fan to exhaust but I am not sure how good the front will work since I don't see where there are any holes up front.

Any tips on this case fan setup?

Thanks

I wouldn't use the side fan for exhaust. You might pull the air out from the CPU H/S fan. If I knew the setup you were building I could tell you more.

What I ordered was:

EPOX 8KHA+ MB
AMD XP 1600+ chip retail
Evercase 4252 w/ side fan 300w PS
Enermax 80mm fan
Aopen 56x CD-rom
Maxtor 60gb HD 7200 RPM
TEAC floppy
Leadtek GF2 MX200 w/video out
Actiontek 56k hardware modem w/ call waiting
512 MB Crucial ram (2x256)

I will also add from my old computer:
8x4x32 Plextor CDR/RW drive
10gb 5400 RPM HD for storage
Studio DV Firewire card

Any cooling suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks

I have this same case.. Haven't finished putting it all together yet though. I am going to go ahead and put my extra 8cm fan in the front. That way it can blow air over my 2 7200rpm hdd. There is a slot on the bottom of the front of the case where the air can come in.

I just got this case too (w/o the fans). I want to add a front fan but I didn't get a mounting bracket or anything to do it. Do I need to order this in order to mount a fan properly? Where can I get it?

Also, I think this will accommodate a 120mm fan. Any recommendations on which one I should get or should I stick with a "normal" 80mm like a silencer or panaflow? Btw, I'm aiming for quiet over cool since I'm not overclocking (1.4ghz athlon).

Thanks.
