It will be worth holding out for a quad, especially for FSX and BF3, make sure you get a joystick FSX doesn't play too good with the keyboard
Bought many more fans yet luke? lol. I can't judge I have 5 in mine, 7 if you include gpu & psu.

Ok will do
No not yet roughly if i get fans on the psu,gfx and i will have on the cpu cooler i will have 8 fans in total.
We have a wood burner in our dining room that we use in winter and it heats the house very good and every room is roasting, So i thought with me playing games and how warm it gets in winter in our house i thought i better equip it.
I also have a fan that goes on to the pci ports, i will get a pic up, it is an exhaust fan realy but with that hot air rises i don't think it would do any good

best keep the window open in winter then, no point having 8 fans blowing intense wood burner heat through the case
having said that, a good airflow in the case can drastically lower the temps, load and idle of the major components, a good airflow case can get away with fanless coolers on the cpu & gpu, not that I would recommend spending the rather large amounts of cash on those coolers. and besides that they are usually quite large.

Im already freezing as it is, so opening windows is a no..no
I will take a pic of the fan unit i am on about
So i have an update with pics, There is a few so be patient
SORRY ABOUT SOME OF THE BLURRY PICS
Any way i have got my fans and cpu cooler
I have put the P4 in to see what room i have with the fans
There is about 1mm gap if that lol
The copper pipes on the freezer 7 pro rev.2 look to be bent what do you wreckon, as i have looked at images on the net and they are all the same????
I have posted a pic of that pci slot fan as well.
I am also out of fan screws im missing 1 of the exhaust
Every other fan has 2 diagonally accross from each other.
I have had a couple of reviews say about the cooler as well that the pre-applied thermal paste is abit rubbish, so atleast i atleast get to use the pre-applied paste, then i can use the arctic silver 5 on the quad
Also it will be abit now for the quad and psu and Gfx card as i need to save up for a few things
So some pics:::
Hiper clear exhaust fan 120mm fan
RED L.E.D cooler master 120mm fan
Arctic cooling Freezer 7 Pro rev.2 That fan is tiny
Are the copper cooling pipes crushed???
Sorted the fans out side fans intake, front intake, bottom not decided, rear exhaust
1 screw short
FANS INSIDE IN SITU
Cpu cooler is very close to the fan (Blurry pic sorry)
Pci fan exhaust
Cheers Luke
p.s let me know about the fans, cpu cooler etc as mentioned
