After my upgrade I realized I have enough left over componets to build a backup computer, the only thing I need in another case. I was thinking of just getting a cheap-o case but then I started looking around and found this Cool Master case I was thinking of getting that one for my gaming system and then use my old case for my back up rig. The only thing that worries me about the cool master is it only has 2 case fans. I do a fair amount of gaming and would like to OC my CPU at some point but i'm not sure if that case will keep everything cool enough. Right now the case I have is an Enermax CS-3171 and that comes with 5 case fans. I read a review about the Cool Master case that said if you plan to OC don't get it because its not getting enough air flow. I planning on getting a XP-90 for my AMD 3200+ but i'm still worried if I get this case I won't have enough airflow going though it. If anyone has had any expirence with this case could you let me know how it performs. Thanks. Here are my specs.

AMD64 3200+ Vinice core
Abit AN8 Ultra
ATI x800XL PCI-E
2 512mb sticks Crucial 3200
2 200gb WD HDD's
DVD-RW
DVD-ROM
Sound Blaster Live!
Enermax 460 watt PSU


Also, I just got a temp monitor/fan controller. I have the 4 fan controllers hooked up to my case fans. I'm just wondering if I should have atleast 2 of them hooked up to my CPU and GPU fans? Thanks.
