Will this case suffice?

[Jittles]

I am getting the enlight 72370X3 from newegg and I have heard people say they needed to put an extra case fan in and the temps became much better. My question is this: Is the Sunon 92x92x25mm going to be a good choice AND will it fit? Is there a place to put this in the back or will I have to drill holes?

Also, will the 300 Watt PSU be sufficient for a 1.2GHz? I will have one hard drive, one cd-rom(possibly two with a CD-RW), nic, video card, firewire card.

Thanks. I need to buy everything from newegg so if you have any suggestions, make sure newegg sells the part because I live in Alaska and the shipping is horrible. Has to go second day air so I need the discounted shipping for more items.

not sure about the case fan question, but that power supply s/b no with what you listed as long as you aren't planning to overclock in a huge way.

As you can see here, it seems like the case only has room for one, or two 40mm (or 50mm, maybe...) fans down the right-side of the back of the case. These would only require the drilling of four holes each for the screws. If you have a hole-saw bit for a drill, or a Dremel available, you can probably carve a hole for a 60mm fan in the rear with little effort just above the I/O ports, right around where the CPU might go (which would be great for exhaust!). With that sheet of metal above, making a top blow-hole would be difficult, though. As for the power supply, it should be plenty enough for your system.

A case I recommend for Athlons is my very own: an Antec SX830. Along with my Radeon LE, the best $79 I've ever spent.

If you insist on that case, the best thing you can do to extend the life of your CPU, and peripherals is to clean the dust/lint out often, from both the case, and all fans inside.

Ok, thanks.

Does anyone know for sure, or have put one in themselves, what size fan I could put in this. Does it come with one for the front?

The case manual (PDF format) that's linked to that site I pointed to before indicates that the case includes part no. 3406140, an 8CM (80mm as we know'em ) fan. So the bracket (duct) included with the case supports an 80mm fan, if you find the need to go out looking for a really good one (Sanyo Denki, and Sunon are ones I've had great experiences with). What's the brand/power-/noise-rating of the fan? Heck if I know .

Yeah, thanks for pointing out what I should've looked at. I guess I just want answers fast and don't want to look for them.

I looked at the SX830 and the thing is 69 + 66 shipping at one place, 76+ 73 shipping at another. I'm gonna look locally but I don't know if I will be able to find one.
