Need help with my case

Hello, i have a packard bell 2326 case which has no case fans at all !!

I am wondering how could i install fans in the case to blow cold air in?

many thanks- neil

The case doesn't have any provision for fan, i.e. mounting holes? You could check & measure that then install 1 or 2.

But is the system running too hot = unstable & or other issues?

Alternative is to get yourself another case, transfer current system & that should last you several years & builds

if theres space for a front fan, mark the fan/screw holes out and use a drill.

make sure you remove the outer case you're drilling, or all the internals before drilling.

The side of my case has LOADS of holes in it, one of my mates said he has fans hooked up there for his aswell, theres two different sizes of holes and screws would defos fit in them, if not i could get them help in somehow

Cut out a blow hole on top and get a decent fan that can shift a lot of air.
