Top: 120 mm fan x 2 (optional)
Front: 120 mm blue LED fan x 1,140 mm fan x 1 (optional)
Rear: 80/90/120 mm fan x1(optional)
Side: 120 mm fan x 1(optional)
Bottom:80/90/120 mm fan x1(optional)

So it comes with a single front blue LED fan.

This single fan pushes out an astonoshing amount of air through it, Along with two top pane 90mm fans this case will keep very cool.

im going to put two 120mm fans in as well, one at the top and one at the rear, both will be used as exhausts

im also thinking if to get a 120mm fan for the side as a intake for my gtx 480 ??

what do you guys think ??

Do you already have the extra 120mm fans? if not, then look into how much they cost, and see if it couldnt get you a case in the next grade up that already has enough fans fitted.
