Optional 80mm Fans in case

Do I need to buy and install the optional Fans(Front and Rear) on my Antec SLK1600 Mini Tower Case? The case came only with the PS fan.
Iam going to be installing a MSI-RS480M2-IL motherboard and a AMD Athlon 64 3000+ CPU(RETAIL), and 1GB of Corsair Memory(VS1GBKIT400). No overclocking.
 
Nope, unless you find your system gets extremely warm inside the case. Then you might want to look at getting one. But for many stock systems, they're not necessary.
 
If anything you might considering adding the 80mm exhaust fan. The intake is probably unnecessary in your case.

I'd plan to get multiple Vantec Tornados. You'll need them. Also, replace the fans in your PSU with Tornados. A plexi-glass window on the side will help, or so my 12 year old brother tells me.
 
I like extra fans in case the single fan goes west or gets clogged. Just a safety factor. It also makes sure the air flow is correct, ie no air is drawn from gaps and such.
