Vote in poll and then list them in your post.

Me - 8.
2x front intake
2x exhaust
4x internal intake (PSU, CPU, mobo chipset, GPU)

6 for me
1x 140mm exhaust - fit with a little modding ;)
1x 120mm intake
1x 120mm PSU
1x 92mm CPU
1x some size stock fan GPU
1x 80mm side intake - extremely low RPMs and CFM, just to add a slight breeze in an otherwise "hot spot"

Total noise is very little, except that stock cooler on my X1900XT is driving me berserk sometimes!

For those that say 1 for your PSU, don't forget the intake on the bottom if it has one.

No CPU fan, acegazda? Or does it funnel straight to the case exhaust like in Dells?

I messed up, I just counted case fans and put 5, but If you count PSU, heatsink and graphics cards I have 11.

My assumption is you are referring to *case* fans, so I voted for two. I am using two Scythe 120mm S series 1200rpm fans, one for intake and one for exhaust. If you want total fans, there would be six -- Radeon X1900XTX, 2 case, 2 in the OCZ PowerStream PSU, 1 CPU (Zalman CNPS9500).

Sorry, I meant all fans. I was interested in how many total fans people have in their systems, for all devices and the case.

1x120mm exhaust
1x120mm in the PSU chamber of my P180
1x92mm Nexus on a fan bracket to cool off my passive Zalman GPU cooler

PSU, motherboard, and CPU are passively cooled.

I guess I have 12:
3x120mm intake (CM LED, Globalwin and the weak CM 4in3 one)
1x120mm exhaust (CM LED)
2x80mm exhaust (CM normal)
1x80mm top exhaust/blowhole (CM weak, rather wimpy but it came with the case)
1x120mm CPU (big typhoon fan)
1x40mm motherboard (DFI fan)
1x60mm video card (X1900 fan)
2x80mm PSU (Powerstream fans)

Most of them are pretty low speed, so my system is actually fairly quiet in Windows (although it's a different story in games due to the X1900 blower).

7 Fans:
1x120mm exhaust
1x120mm intake
1x120mm fan blowing over video cards
1x120mm in PSU (@ 700rpms???)
3x120mm fans on Rad.

Even though I have Water Cooling, I still have fans galore in my case :)
Luckly there all really quiet and the sound of the A/C drowns out whatevers left.
