Air cooling

Is it possible to have too many fans on a case? I'm thinking of modding my antec 1200 front panel which is already damaged.

Noise? positive/negative pressure?

It's probably possible to reach a saturation point - i.e. where adding more fans doesn't make any discernable difference to your temps.

When usuing a lot of fans it's more important that you get them to compliment each other so that airflow remains uninterrupted - positive/negative pressure as mentioned above.

Just going to put 4 120 fans on the side panel all blowing into the case. See sig for rest of the spec (antec 1200)

You will need enough air flow to push all that air out of the case

having more fans blowing in than out is not really good idea

Well thought out airflow beats 'Throw fans at it!' by a mile.
