I'm getting ready to transfer my system over to a new case, Compucase 6919 Shown here.
Planning on running a medium-low speed 120 in the back along with a similar fan on an XP-120. Power supply is an Antec 480. Cpu is stock running A64 3200+.
Current case is a tried and true Antec 800 series running two 80mm Panaflows in the back and a Zalman 7000 AL-Cu.
My hope is to maintain similar temps to the current setup while lowering noise levels.
So the question is, should I bother installing a fan in the front or not? The 6919 has space for two 80's in the front but otherwise the front intake area is less than the Antec 800. My worry is that with the reduced intake area, along with the bezel filter on the case, that the airflow will be reduced.
Been even thinking about moding the case to take a 120 in front. There's plenty of room but it will require relocating the lower hard drive cage which will be a pain.
Thoughts?
