hey folks, thanks for your help, I have a GAteway E-4200 that I feel like hacking up a bit :) heck yeah... so Im going to be installing a 120mm fan in the front, it is going to be the SOLE input fan for this machine.. the output will be the ps fan, a 80mm below that in the back/top... and possibly a blowhole on top... look at this case and tell me if I should hack up the faceplate to let enough air in for a 120mm fan... the holes start small at the top, and are a larger, oval shape at the bottom.. the underside of the faceplaec it mostly open so it can get air under that lip as well... thanks

This is the picture

Wait til the fan is installed, see what you have. Check the airflow with the bezel both on and off, then make up your mind. There is a point of diminished returns with this stuff beyond which you are just making more noise and more work for yourself.
