Does the Pc-69 usually ship without a top fan as mine seem to have. What case fan do you recommend putting there?

Yes, they come stock with a top fan. Some companies take them out if you don't buy them as an "option." Any 80mm fan will do, but I would recommend an Enermax, Vantec Stealth, or a Panaflow L1A.

Mine came with the top fan, and one rear fan, and then two more front fans all installed. All of the fans Mogul mentioned are good, but since I have tried all three I'd pick the Panaflow L1A as my favorite

This is a little off topic, but where can ya get a Panaflow L1A, Vantec Stealth, or Enermax Fan?

 

[Mr N8]

The Enermax and Vantec fans you can get just about anywhere. I've purchased mine mostly from newegg.com. The L1As are harder to find, because I don't think they make the 80mm one's anymore.

Directron sells them, and I've picked up a few from them. http://www.directron.com/80l1a.html

Rather than recommending a fan (yes, it does come stock with one, but as MM said, some take it out), let us know what you're looking for in a fan (low noise? high output? good balance of both?) and then we can help you.

The system will have have 4 hds(2 WD200gb and 2 raptors) a nv34 or ati9900, for cpu 3000+ or 3200+. As for a fan the primary qualifications are stability by keeping the cpu/components cool, longeivty on the parts due to cooling as I usually end up selling for donating sytems to family members, and I guess of least import would be the sound factor. However if a panaflo at 22cfm offers no disadvantages to the 80cfm fans as far as keeping things cool or stable? Right now the case has the fans it shipped with 3 and I have the antec true 550 power suppply with dual fans. As for panaflos isn't there is a deal with them not having connectors or tails or some such and being hard to find? I wouldn't want a bad connection to the power to be the cause of overheating . I am also looking for a cpu fan to go with most likely a slk-800a. If i go loud at cpu or case then would be silly to go quiet in another spot.
