Antec P183 case mod help

[dannywaugh1]

hey all I have been thinking about adding some fans to my p183 case, 2 on the side and another on the top.
Reason for this is because I'm going to order some new kit to put in the case and want to keep it cool.
Or would you recommend not doing the mod and go for some other cooling?

If yes to the mod how would you go about doing it?

Asus P6X58D-E Intel X58 MOBO
EVGA GeForce GTX 580
Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz (Bloomfield)
Corsair Hydro H70 High-Performance CPU WaterCooler

All ideas welcome thanks!

It just seems wrong to hack fan holes in the sound dampening sides of the P183 only to mess up internal airflow direction. Why not utilise the front fan slot, remove grille and perhaps a 5 1/4" bay mounted fan or route your H50 to the front. Cutting a blow hole up top should be simple enough as that isn't sound dampened.

would never of thought to move the h70 to the front great idea

i don't really want to start cutting holes in the case its a great case

Are you having problems with temperatures?

The P183 isn't the best for cooling, but it's certainly good enough for almost anything if you have a half decent CPU cooler. Just don't bother, it'd be fine.

nope non at all i wanted to basically know if putting the components in below will be ok temp wise etc.

would change the fans to Sharkoon Silent Eagle 2000 120mm
