What would be adequate cooling for the upcoming Cm Stacker 830

What would be adequate cooling for the CM Stacker 830?
For my new SLI gaming rig I plan on buying a Cooler Master Stacker 830 (yea that new one)

This beast can support up to 9 120 mm fans I think.

What I am wondering is what would be adequate cooling for this case. I mean how many 120 mm fans would u really need. To give u an idea of my set up its gunna be that DFI mobo (the SLI Dr Expert) with 2 7800 GT in SLI, seasonic s12 500 psu, 3 hdds, 1 DVD/CD Burner, 2 gigs of ram, sound card. Im also pretty sure that im gunna have a fan on my cpu HS (x2 3800+) and not go passive.

heres a link to the case http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/Coo...s.aspx?pid=1083

also, I think im going to the get the cross flow fan for it. I definetly would have the 1 intake in the front, 1 exhaust in the back, and the 1 exhaust on top. In regards to the side panel, if i did use the croos flow fan i could have that and 2 additional 120 mm fans.

What would be the best configuration, the cross flow and 2 120mm or 4 120mm or just 2 120mm or none at all.

i guess overall im having a hard time figuring out how much cooling i really need.

thanks

fixed link here.

i would think any more then 4 would be over kill.
a lot of ppl are talking about that case.. highly rated.. but to me its fugly.

yea a lot of ppl dont like the stylin but i think its pretty sweet. so anymore than 4 would be overkill, where should i put the 4 fans to maximize cooling

I was thinking 3 in front. 1 rear, 1 top and possibly 1-2 on side. I may get all nine though just to see how it is. Can always remove those I dont need or want afterwards. I plan to overclock so the extra air will be welcome. Four 120mm fans (1 front, 1 rear, 1 top, and 1 side) will be enough for the average user I'm thinking.

yea ill be doin some ocin so that may be a good idea, the only annoying this is if you want to add another front intake fan i think you have to buy 2 more of the 4-in-3 Device Module
I may be wrong but that was the impression I got, that u need one of those for every front intake fan

I'm not wholey certain whats needed myself. I'm waiting for them to be released and see what the users think of them and suggest. A couple places have them availble now I heard so maybe in the next week or so we'll get some feedback as to wether the case is good or not.
